    The Copyright Information Point

    Who we are and what we do

    The CIP supports education and research with everything that's copyright related. Our main responsibilities are education and answering questions about copyright. The information point consists of Hedwig Alijk, Evalien Langhorst, Mariska Schouten and Arnaud Zwakhals. The CIP is part of 'Netwerk Auteursrechten Informatiepunten' (NAI) from the Universities of applied sciences collective.

    What is copyright?

    Copyright is the right of the creator of a work to determine how, where and when his or her work can be made public or be reproduced. Copyright is automatically applied and is founded in the copyright act. The rights to a work that has been created in service of an employer (or on assignment), are owned by the employer. This conforms to the collective agreement for Universities of Applied Sciences, Cao-hbo article E-7 and article 7 of the Dutch copyright act.
