What does our copying licence enable?
The copying licence allows you to copy supplementary material for teaching. The licence allows you to copy, print, scan and photograph articles, images, sheet music, lyrics and extracts from publications and websites within the limits of the licence.
You can include the copies in your own teaching material, a test you have prepared or an entrance exam to the educational institution, and distribute them to learners as supplementary material in a closed learning environment or on paper. Learners are also allowed to copy images and extracts for their own projects and assignments, provided these are not distributed or published online or on social media.
The Finnish National Agency for Education has obtained a centralised copying licence for early childhood education and care, pre-primary and basic education, free upper secondary education and educational institutions receiving central government transfers for basic education in the arts. The agreement covers early childhood education and care provided at day care centres and in family day care.
Almost all liberal adult education institutions have obtained a copying licence directly from us here at Kopiosto. Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences have our copying licence for teaching, research and administration activities.
