ACACIA supports research on innovative models for the creation and use of content, as well as the production of knowledge-based products such as software. It also supports the development of researchers in this transdisciplinary area and especially the interests of lawyers, authors, librarians, academics, and artists, as well as entrepreneurs in stimulating the growth of alternative approaches to digital copyright.

ACACIA appuiera la recherche sur des modèles novateurs pour la création et l’utilisation de contenu, de même que pour la production de produits fondés sur le savoir, tels que les logiciels. Il appuiera également le perfectionnement de chercheurs dans ce domaine transdisciplinaire, en encourageant spécialement les avocats, les auteurs, les bibliothécaires, les universitaires et les artistes, ainsi que les entrepreneurs, à explorer de nouvelles approches du droit d’auteur dans le secteur numérique.
