On 24th June 2025, CREATe will publish the report Open Licensing Models in the Cultural Heritage Sector, the main output of a project funded by Creative Commons. The authors of the study – Bartolomeo Meletti, Kristofer Erickson, Aline Iramina and Victoria Stobo – will present the findings at the upcoming webinar, The Economics of Open: A Conversation with the authors. You can register for the webinar – organised by Creative Commons and taking place at 3pm UK time on 24th June – at this link.

We’ll explore:

  • When and how open models align with institutional missions—and when they don’t
  • Whether open licensing can reduce costs or generate new forms of value
  • Indirect revenue and value opportunities made possible by openness
  • Legal and policy implications across different jurisdictions
  • Community engagement and co-creation potentials
  • Interoperability with platforms like Wikipedia and Europeana
  • Institutional recommendations and emerging best practices
