At the IGDS, researchers and partners have been exploring the intricacies of the IPO process as we seek to make sense of our work and establish relevant protocols around sharing and ownership of that work. More specifically, how do we create content for the public in a way that allows us to ensure that we protect our copyright responsibilities? Our content includes the following: Toolkits, training manuals, technical papers, project reports, pamphlets, fact sheets, and palm cards, workshop materials such as icebreakers and other materials, curriculum and modules, MOOCS.

Aware that other individuals, agencies and organizations may have similar concerns; this seminar is open to anyone interested in learning more about the protection and responsible sharing of intellectual property.
