The International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO), a network of collective management organisations around the world, including reproduction rights organisations (RROs) and creators’ and publishers’ associations in the text and image sector working to protect and enable easy legal access to copyright materials, held Board elections at its recent World Congress and Annual General Meeting 2019 in Edinburgh, UK.
IFRRO’s mission is to develop and support an efficient and effective network of collective management organisations around the world, including RROs, to ensure the copyrights of authors, visual artists and publishers are respected when their works are reproduced and used. It advocates for copyright and the creative sector by building a strong and resilient RRO network that supports the rights of creators and publishers, including economic and moral rights, with tolerance and respect.
The IFRRO World Congress (IWC), an annual gathering of RROs as well as other related bodies, ran from November 4-7 in Edinburgh, UK. The Congress program included the Annual General Meeting, the IFRRO International Conference, and other meetings. It provided a chance to share knowledge and forge new professional connections.
