Workshop: Consortium Agreements for FP6
12 June 2003
United Kingdom
Singleimage Limited is again running the workshop - Consortium Agreements for FP6. It is being held at St John's Innovation Centre, Cambridge, UK:
CONSORTIUM AGREEMENTS FOR FP6 - Thursday 12 June 2003
The European Commissions new Framework Programme significantly increases the powers of the research consortium. Transfers of budget between partners, changes to the workplan, adding new partners during the project, even running Calls for Proposals can now all be done under the control of the consortium.
These new powers raise major issues of governance and decision taking within consortia. New rules concerning intellectual property and financial liability add further challenges. They must all be addressed through the consortium agreement, which is now compulsory for almost every EC research project.
This workshop will provide a detailed analysis of the Commission's new model contract and its implications for consortium agreements. It will include an introduction to the decision taking framework which will be needed, especially for Integrated Projects, and describe the various options for handling intellectual property and financial management. The Workshop is intended for research, contracts, European office and other staff responsible for dealing with and advising researchers on management and legal aspects of FP6 projects.
