WORKSHOP: Consortium Agreement Essentials for FP7
26 February 2008
United Kingdom
Consortium agreements are compulsory for collaborative projects in FP7.
A good consortium agreement can support effective project management and minimise risks to intellectual property rights (IPR). But what is a good consortium agreement? Should power rest with an elected board, or with a general assembly of all partners? Should affiliates have free access to the IPR generated in the project? Should EC payments be distributed immediately, or only on proof of work done?
This workshop explains the main features and options for consortium agreements for collaborative projects in FP7. It covers the major terms of the EC grant agreement, which provide the context for consortium agreements. The workshop will also compare the DESCA, EICTA and EUCAR model consortium agreements for FP7.
The workshop is aimed at contracts managers, project managers and all concerned with intellectual property in EC collaborative research projects. It will be limited to 24 participants, to allow high levels of interaction and plenty of time for questions. Note: finance managers requiring in-depth information on the financial aspects of FP7 should attend our Finance in FP7 workshop.
