Revision of the EIC IP provisions - EIC Board statement

Published on | 2 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

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
