Group description - Modern times -
Based on a broad conception of audiovisual heritage that includes 
cinema, television, radio, video and audio recordings and photographs, 
this group at the Complutense University (Chair Modern Times 
https://www.ucm.es/modern-times/ <https://www.ucm.es/modern-times/>) is 
focused on the analysis of European audiovisual heritage with a special 
emphasis on transformations in the Digital Single Market and on access 
to its works and services.

The Group combines the experience of a highly reputed master’s programme 
on Audiovisual Heritage at Complutense University (WEB: 
https://www.ucm.es/master_patrimonio_audiovisual/ 
<https://www.ucm.es/master_patrimonio_audiovisual/>) with innovative 
research (including PhD supervision) and transfer activities.

The members of the Chair lead by Corredoira are part of the teaching 
personnel for this latter master’s, which brings together seven 
different university departments. Prof. Ramos Arenas also teaches at the 
School of Art, and Prof. Ramos Simón on the master’s in Documentation. 
The Chair should contribute to strengthening a specifically European 
approach to matters regarding our common audiovisual heritage.
Research topic
We collaborate with different institutions and archives (such as 
Filmoteca española, Cinemateke Belgium, RTVE, National Library, Museums, 
etc.) directing projects for the management and cataloguing of 
audiovisual works. The Fellow will be able to make a professional stay 
at the chosen institution in Spain or another European country, to 
develop a policy for the reuse of public access works, and public domain 
catalogue.
It will cover preservation, custody and legal questions related to 
access to and dissemination of European audiovisual heritage.

Specific objectives will additionally include analysis of the 
transformation of the legal framework affecting audiovisual heritage 
projects and programmes, as well as consideration of questions 
concerning preservation and current digitization policies.

The innovative proposal put forward by this Chair also includes the 
supervision of doctoral theses (a minimum of five PhD theses and twelve 
master’s theses); the production of catalogues and cinema and television 
archival repositories.
Complutense University currently offers three official master’s 
programmes focused on heritage: a Historical Heritage and Museums 
programme, a Photographic Documentation programme (starting this year), 
and an Audiovisual Heritage programme. And in all of them, the 
Management and Legislation material is taught, which includes 
Intellectual Property Law.

This team will launch a new European PhD programme in 2022/2023. The 
syllabus for Master and PhD students will include seminars and courses 
on the history of European cinema and television, collective European 
memory, European audiovisual policies, rights management, universal 
access to European film management of open access archives.
