WORKSHOP: Consortium Agreements for FP7 in Cambridge, UK
7 November 2012 - 7 November 2012
Austria
A workshop on Consortium Agreement for FP7 will be held on 7 November 2012 in Cambridge, UK
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.
