The Go8 office has been
involved in making representations to the Government about anomalies and outdated
provisions in copyright law which disadvantage universities in their teaching,
research and community engagement activities. Problems and hindrances
potentially arise across a very broad range of universities’ activities in
teaching, research, research collaboration, and storing and dissemination of
materials (for research, teaching, community engagement and other purposes) in
electronic form.
They have advised that it would be really useful to have some
concrete and specific examples of impediments to research activities, including
international research collaboration, and research collaboration with industry
due to restrictions imposed by copyright law. In particular, it would be great
to have some examples of impediments to data mining and data sharing that have
hindered Go8 universities’ research.
Monash University has been asked to provide a response to the
Go8 office. As such, we are requesting that you please provide comments
and specific examples of impediments to research activities due to restrictions
imposed by copyright law to casilda.black@monash.edu
by COB Wednesday 2 September, for inclusion in the
University’s response.
