Impact A key course for Master and PhD students working on the field of Audiovisual Heritage. The course is taught mainly by professor Corredoira, but we also invite to come at least 3 or 4 guests from the Institutions in charge of the Copyright Management. We have had and we plan to keep doing it, visits and conversations with people in charge of  Video Archives and/or  Films  to enrich the practical application of the Laws (RTVE for example). We also visit annually the Spanish Parliament or the EU Parliament to talk with Public representatives about new Directives or Regulations ahead.  This amplifies also the impact of this Chair having conversations with policymakers and lobbyists.
