Revision of the EIC IP provisions - EIC Board statement

Published on | 3 years ago

Programmes
EIC HorizonEU L+F

The EIC Board met with the university associations to discuss the provisions on intellectual property (IP). The main concerns raised by the associations include: unclear differentiation between ‘inventorship’ and ‘authorship’ in the definition of EIC Inventors; potential barriers to knowledge transfer and the work of knowledge transfer offices posed by granting wide ranging access rights to EIC inventors; and possible conflicts with institutional, regional or national rules.

The meeting resulted in a statement on the revision of the EIC IP povisions containing a set of recommendations, regarding:

  • alignement of EIC inventor definition
  • minimum time to commit to supporting the protection and commercialisation of results
  • involvement of Technology Transfer Offices of the researchers' organisation
  • fair returns 
  • ownership of IP
  • guidance/best practices of fair and proportionate terms

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
