WORKSHOP: Consortium Agreement Essentials for FP7
8 October 2007
Workshop: CONSORTIUM AGREEMENT ESSENTIALS FOR FP7
8 October 2007 – Copenhagen, Denmark
1 November 2007 – Cambridge, UK
Consortium agreements are compulsory for collaborative projects in FP7.
A good consortium agreement will support effective project management and minimise risks to intellectual property rights (IPR). But what is a good consortium agreement? Should power 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? Should EC payments be distributed immediately, or only on proof of work done?
This workshop explains the main features and options for consortium agreements, and will also compare the DESCA, EICTA and EUCAR model consortium agreements for FP7.
It is suitable for contracts officers, project managers and professional advisors in organisations participating in the EU Research Framework Programme. 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.
