As we look into 2021, IFLA is keen to build capacity around the world to engage in copyright issues, in particular in support of IFLA’s work at WIPO, given its unique role in creating and interpreting international law on copyright.  IFLA is, therefore, looking for dynamic and committed library professionals who are ready to bring the voice and needs of libraries on copyright to the intellectual property offices and ministries which define national positions at WIPO.  IFLA wishes enable libraries to have a stronger voice internationally, while also presenting an opportunity to learn about the possibilities created by working with WIPO.
