27th February 2018: an innovative seminar in Madrid on IPR, Data Management and Open Access for your EU-funded projects

We’ve been working hard and we are now partners on 6 Horizon 2020 projects! Based on our experience through these projects and the partnerships we had with the different stakeholders in EU projects, we decided to launch an avant-garde seminar to understand and process the intellectual property of the project you really want to build.


WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE IN THE IPR, DATA MANAGEMENT & OPEN ACCESS COURSE?

1) Increase your success rate

A deeper understanding of what IPR, Data Management & Open-Access are about, and at which stages of the project they matter. We’ll help you understand how to maximise your chances of getting EU funding and how to seize the opportunity to bring your project to reality.
Antoine will use a interactive specifically created for this seminar by Sparks & Co to make you use the concepts at hand and make sure you learn in an interactive way!

2) Learn with a legal expert you can finally understand!

In 2017, we won the Consultancy of the Year prize by the European Excellence Awards in Public Affairs.
Our team gathers a wide range of talents to ensure all aspects and challenges of Communication & Dissemination for EU projects are handled professionnally, skillfully and always with the smile!
As a legal expert specialised in Intellectual Property, Antoine Verdier will help you get a better understanding of all notions around IPR, Data Management and Open-Access in European projects. He is also known to be the only easy-to-understand legal expert, and the most friendly!

3) Meet the European Commission's requirements

Once you finally win a proposal and get EU-funding, how do you meet the European Commission’s requirements regarding the IPR, Data Management & Open-Access?
In H2020, your project will contribute to spread the values of the European Commission not only through strong partnerships with the members of your consortium, excellent research but also sharing the outcomes of your project with the whole world.
