Dear Colleagues,

The EU ePSIplus Thematic Network (www.epsiplus.net
<http://www.epsiplus.net>) is organising fifteen international expert
Thematic meetings designed to debate a wide range of issues and to
arrive at a consensus on recommendations for the 2008 review of the PSI
directive (2003/98/EC of 17 November 2003 - see attached).

The findings and recommendations from these Thematic meetings will be
validated at a pre-review conference organised by the ePSIplus Network
in close cooperation with the European Commission.

We would like to invite you to attend a Thematic meeting dedicated to
the discussion of possible extension of the scope of the Directive into
the Cultural Heritage sector. The meeting will be held in Paphos,
Cyprus on September 10-11, 2007.

The focus is on an important PSI sector - Cultural Heritage, including
information held by libraries, museums and archives.  Public sector
organisations holding such information are currently exempt from the
scope of the PSI Directive and a legitimate question arises about
whether there is a case for bringing cultural information under the
scope of the Directive.  This meeting will address this question and
bring together key representatives and experts from various cultural
information value chains as well as experts on aspects surrounding
exploitation of PSI (such as legal, copyright and policy issues).

The meeting will have a highly interactive character and participants
will have the chance to bring forward their views.

All meeting related information including the agenda, logistical
information, registration forms, etc. is available on the ePSIplus
website (www.epsiplus.net <http://www.epsiplus.net/>).

Should you wish to participate, please fill out the registration form
(see attached and available on the website: www.epsiplus.net
<http://www.epsiplus.net> ) and e-mail it Olga McHenry
([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>).

Best regards,

Marinos Ioannides

ePSIplus Network, National Network Partner, Cyprus
