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

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
