CC Japan engages in various outreach activities to promote open licensing and open access, often in response to requests and invitations. These activities have led to further opportunities through networking, including teaching a university course on information society and digital copyright, organizing a panel at a Wikimedia conference, and contributing to an open access journal issue. CC Japan finds this reactive approach of responding to opportunities an efficient way to introduce open concepts to interested parties and expand its reach.
