As discussions around accessibility, copyright, and inclusion continue to evolve, this research provides an important evidence base for policymakers, practitioners, & researchers alike
#MUResearch #MarrakeshTreaty
From academic analysis to EU policy impact!
The European Commission’s Review of the Marrakesh Directive (2017/1564) and Marrakesh Regulation (2017/1563) (December 2025) draws on multiple scholarly outputs by Prof Delia Ferri and collaborators at the @MaynoothUni @All_Institute.
One example is Delia’s 2023 article in IIC – International Review of Intellectual Property and Competition Law, which examines how the EU’s implementation of the #MarrakeshTreaty operates in practice — highlighting both progress and the ongoing barriers in addressing the “book famine” experienced by people with print-related disabilities.
That this wider body of work is cited across both the Commission’s report and the accompanying Staff Working Document demonstrates how sustained, rigorous academic research can meaningfully inform EU-level policy reflection and implementation.

Mental health is a critical, and too often overlooked, area, so it’s encouraging to see research projects like this being funded.
Great to see collaboration driving work that reflects the full lived experience of people with MS with our colleague Dr @RebeccaMaguire and
Minister Mary Butler has today announced a €3 million investment in mental health research to advance understanding in areas such as youth mental health, ADHD in adults, women’s mental health, and loneliness in older people. gov.ie/en/department-of-heal…

Though provoking #CriticalRaceThory (CRT) seminar last week! We discussed how #CRT could disrupt old narratives, reveal hidden bias in laws, and spark vital debates beyond race, including gender & disability. Why is the CRT journey so different in the US & Europe?

The EU’s #Disability strategy recognises how far the Marrakesh rules have come in improving access to books and cultural materials. But advocacy groups are calling for a stronger, updated Directive to remove remaining barriers.
