The FOSTER+ project (Fostering the practical implementation of Open Science in Horizon 2020 and beyond) has received funding under the Horizon 2020 programme Swafs (Science with and for Society).

On 18 June the project organises a webinar on 'Open Science & Open Innovation: Synergies and Conflicts': 

'Is disclosure of research in conflict with traditional IPR practices? Are both concepts mutually exclusive? And how should young researchers navigate these uncertain waters as funders request more disclosure and more commercialisation at the same time?

What are the synergies between Open Science & IPR, and what are the basic "rules of thumb" that will equip young researchers to confidently master both practices for optimal societal impact?

These are some of the academia-industry questions that will be explored in a series of webinars over the summer months, in order to support young researchers everywhere, Marie Curie applicants for 11 September 2019, as well as all scientists with an open mind.'
