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

UrbanAIR - Digital Twin for Urban Climate Action

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03) and running from 2025 to 2028, UrbanAIR develops advanced digital twins that simulate the interactions between urban climate, human behaviour, and policy choices. These models enable cities to explore what-if scenarios, such as new green infrastructure, mobility measures or building designs, and assess their impacts on health, safety and social equity. The project consortium consists of 18 partners from 11 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Vito in this testimonial.
