WORKSHOP: Consortium Agreements for FP7 - Cambridge, UK
24 April 2012 - 24 April 2012
Austria
A good consortium agreement can support effective project management and minimise risks to intellectual property rights (IPR). But what is a good consortium agreement? Should power to transfer budgets between partners 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? Which takes priority: academic publication or commercial confidentiality? Should EC payments be distributed immediately, or only on proof of work done?
This workshop will explain the main features and options for consortium agreements for collaborative projects in FP7. It will compare the DESCA, Digital Europe, EUCAR and ASD model consortium agreements and will cover the major terms of the EC grant agreement, which provides the context.
The workshop is aimed at those negotiating consortium agreements: research managers, advisors and contracts staff. It will be limited to 24 participants, to allow high levels of interaction and plenty of time for questions. Note: those requiring information on the financial aspects of FP7 should attend our Finance in FP7 workshop.
