About KR21
The Knowledge Rights 21 Programme is run by Stichting IFLA Foundation and supported by the Arcadia Fund, bringing together library organisations across Europe.
The Programme is focused on building lasting capacity to modernise policies and practices around copyright, mainly in the areas of eLending, promoting open norms, protecting copyright exceptions against contract override, secondary publishing rights, and rights retention.
Through this, it aims to deliver progress, in the short and longer term, that enables learners, students, researchers and other library users to realise the potential of technology in fostering education, research and cultural participation.
At the heart of the programme is the development of tools, skills, and other support for advocacy by networks of libraries and related groups, at both the European and national levels.
