Dealing with Image Rights in Publishing

This Lunch & Learn series offers members of the UZH insights into various aspects of Open Science. The event begins with a half-hour input presentation and concludes with an open Q&A session.

The workshop “Dealing with image rights in publishing” delves into the essential legal considerations surrounding the publication of images in the research context, focusing on copyright and data protection.

Participants will explore key questions such as:

• When is an image protected by copyright?
• Under what conditions can images be quoted?
• Whose permission is required for publication?
• How can researchers navigate copyright and privacy issues when different individuals are involved?
• What should be written in a consent form?

By addressing these topics, the workshop equips researchers with practical knowledge to ensure compliance with legal requirements while respecting intellectual property and privacy.
