Workshop: Contracts & Consortium Agreements for FP6
12 October 2004 - 12 October 2004
United Kingdom
Singleimage Limited will be running the following workshop in Cambridge, UK in October 2004 (the same workshop will be repeated in Hamburg, Germany in December 2004):
CONTRACTS & CONSORTIUM AGREEMENTS FOR FP6,Tuesday 12 October 2004 - Cambridge, UK
The European Commissions 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 draw on the collected experience of using various model agreements in negotiating the first round of FP6 contracts. 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. The workshop will be given in English.
