Open Innovation - A QUT Research Symposium

Owen J. Wordsworth Room, Gardens Point, QUT

Event Summary:This research symposium is dedicated to the topic of open innovation. This event will provide a focal point for Open Access Week in Brisbane, Queensland 2019. The theme for Open Access Week is “Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge”.This symposium will consider the relationship between copyright law, contract law, and scholarly publishing, and the clash between proprietary and open access models. It will explore the evolution of open licensing – from Free Software and Open Source Software to the burgeoning Creative Commons movement. The symposium will preview the forthcoming Supreme Court of the United States case between Carl Malamud and Public Resource.org, and the State of Georgia over copyright law and access to justice.This conference will examine the debate over public education and access to knowledge. It will consider the efforts to provide open educational resources for students. This event will examine larger questions of digital inclusion. In particular, it will focus upon recent copyright law reform in respect of disability rights at a national and an international level. It will consider larger questions about the relationship between open access, education and sustainable development. This event will also highlight the tensions between copyright law, database protection, and open data. This symposium will investigate the rise of open innovation - both in the context of public research and new business models. It will chart the movements of Open Agriculture, Open Biology, Open Medicine, Open Neuroscience and Open Science. It will examine how the strategies of open licensing have been deployed as an alternative to proprietary models of protection under patent law and trade secrets. It will also investigate the use of open licensing in the context of the environment, biodiversity, and climate change. The event features speakers from QUT, the University of Queensland, the University of the Sunshine Coast, Bond University, the University of Canberra, and Griffith University. The presenters will cover a range of disciplines – including law, the creative industries, design, science and technology, robotics political science, and international relations.SpeakersPanel 1 (9:00-10:30)Chair<a href="https://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/p.callan" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Paula Callan (QUT Library)</a>Open Education- Not a Simple Relationship: Ensuring that Open Scholarship Maximises Equity and Benefit Across Education<a href="https://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/ginny.barbour" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor Ginny Barbour (QUT)</a>Open Access - The Impact of the Marrakesh Treaty on the Print Disabled in the Global South <a href="https://law.uq.edu.au/profile/1110/paul-harpur" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Paul Harpur (UQ)</a> with Michael Ashley Stein (Harvard Law School)Open Law- Georgia on my Mind: Carl Malamud, Public.Resource.Org, Copyright Law, Government Edicts, and Access to Justice<a href="https://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/matthew.rimmer" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor Matthew Rimmer (QUT Faculty of Law)</a>Panel 2 (11:00-12:30)Chair<a href="https://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/matthew.rimmer" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor Matthew Rimmer (QUT Faculty of Law)</a>Open Culture - The Intergenerational Cultural Implications of Automated Regulatory Technologies in Digital Media Environments<a href="https://eprints.qut.edu.au/view/person/Gray,_Joanne.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Joanne Gray (QUT DMRC and the Creative Industries Faculty)</a>Open Cities- Open Cities: Openness as a basis for Trustworthiness in Smart Cities<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brydonwang/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Brydon Timothy Wang (QUT)</a>Open Additive Manufacturing- 3D Printing, Sustainable Development and Openness: The Importance of Open-Source to Enable Disruptive Solutions in the 21st Century Samuel de Souza Teixeira Lobao (QUT)Panel 3 (1:30-3:00)Chair: <a href="https://www.library.qut.edu.au/about/contact/staff/q_pope.jsp" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Quentin Pope (QUT Library)</a>Open Agriculture- Can Agriculture Be ‘Open’ If No-One Shares?<a href="https://www.usc.edu.au/staff-repository/professor-jay-sanderson" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor Jay Sanderson (University of the Sunshine Coast)</a> and <a href="https://experts.griffith.edu.au/academic/l.wiseman" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Associate Professor Leanne Wiseman (Griffith University)</a>Open Data- Open Environmental Data: Strengthening Data Culture and Communities<a href="https://graduate-school.uq.edu.au/profile/340/bernadette" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bernadette Hyland-Wood (UQ Global Change Scholar)</a>Open Robotics- Open versus Proprietary in Robotics: A Trillion Dollar Tension<a href="https://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/michael.milford" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor Michael Milford (QUT Faculty of Science and Engineering)</a>Panel 4 (3:30-5:00)Chair<a href="https://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/t.cockburn" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Associate Professor Tina Cockburn</a> (Australian Centre for Health Law Research)Open Medicine- Open to Whom?
