Arcadia Fund Awards Research Grant to Initiative on Copyright Reform for Open Research
Arcadia – a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, has awarded a grant of $165,000 to John Willinsky, Khosla Family Professor at Stanford University Graduate School of Education, and director of the Public Knowledge Project. The funding is underwriting a two-year investigation into how best to reform copyright law in the United States and elsewhere to ensure that it will “promote the progress of science and the useful arts.” as the U.S. Constitution frames the intent of intellectual property law, rather than impede it.
