WORKSHOPS on Finance in FP7 & Consortium Agreements for FP7 held in Cambridge, UK
5 April 2011 - 6 April 2001
Austria
Singleimage Limited is proposing two workshops for those involved FP7 research project.
-Workshop on Finance in FP7 will be held on Tuesday 5 April 2011
FINANCE: Framework Seven (FP7) brings with it new financial rules, which cover everything from eligible costs to interest earned on advance payments, from payment terms to penalties, from subcontracting to social costs. This workshop addresses the financial rules and practices of the Cooperation and Capacities Programmes of FP7. Through lectures and exercises, it will give you a practical interpretation of the EU financial rules and guidelines drawing on real experience. The workshop will bring out the differences and similarities between FP6 and FP7. The workshop is also suitable for project managers and professional advisors working on these projects.
- Workshop on Consortium Agreement for FP7 on Wednesday 6 April 2011
CONSORTIUM AGREEMENTS: 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 to transfer budgets between partners 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? Which takes priority: academic publication or commercial confidentiality? Should EC payments be distributed immediately, or only on proof of work done? This workshop will explain the main features and options for consortium agreements for collaborative projects in FP7. It will compare the DESCA, EICTA, EUCAR and IMG4 model consortium agreements and will cover the major terms of the EC grant agreement, which provides the context.
Both of these workshops will be held in Cambridge, UK and will be limited to 24 participants each to allow high levels if interaction and plenty of time for questions.
