US EMBASSY REP AND HUNGARIAN COPYRIGHT EXPERT IN FILCOLS HUNTAHAN

This FILCOLS Huntahan will definitely be a different one. First, it’s gender-oriented and second, it will have a dash of international orientation because of the guest speakers.


Jenifer Neidhart de Ortiz, Jennie Ness and Dr. Mihaly Ficsor will be joining the
FILCOLS Huntahan para sa Manunulat na Kababaihan, an informal discussion on writing, publishing, intellectual property and copyright.



It will be held on 28 March 2011 from 1:00-4:00 pm at the Seminar Room, College of Social Work and Community Development, Magsaysay St., UP Diliman, Q.C.



Neidhart de Ortiz is the Trade and Investment Officer of the Economic Section of U.S. Embassy Manila while Dr. Mihaly Ficsor is the President of Hungarian Copyright Experts Council. He used to hold high level positions in the WIPO and UNESCO. He authored a number of books about Copyright, Copyright and the Internet, Collective Management and a lot more.



They will drop by and give a short talk on copyright and collective licensing in the international scene.



This event aims to encourage working together to address challenges in and outside the academe and to promote women writers’ rights in the country.
