WORKSHOP - FP7 Grant and Consortium Agreements

The new grant agreement for FP7 brings with it changes concerning the responsibilities of coordinators and participants, revisions to IPR terms, and clarifications concerning the involvement of third parties. New model Consortium Agreements are being drafted to match the new terms and incorporate lessons learnt in FP6. This workshop will describe the main processes, from signature, reporting and payment, through changing participants and on to suspension and termination in the FP7 Cooperation Programme. It will explain what the EC means by background and need, and the implications for access rights to IPR. The workshop will also explore the implications for the consortium agreement.

The workshop is aimed at contracts officers in organisations participating in the EU Research Framework Programme. It is also suitable for project managers and professional advisors working on these 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.
