Ten umbrella organisations' joint reaction on EIC Board statement on IP provisions in EIC Pathfinder and Transition projects

Published on | 10 months ago

Ten umbrella organisations of which Cesaer Universities of Science and Technology, European University Association (EUA), The Guild of European Research Intensive Universities and the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (EARTO), have responded in a joint reaction to the EIC Board statement of 3 May on the European Innovation Council (EIC) Intellectual Property provisions applicable to EIC Pathfinder and Transition projects.

They welcome the recommendations laid out by the EIC Board to the European Commission particularly on the definition of EIC inventors and for granting the EIC inventors access rights only after a certain time period after the end of the EIC project and only if specific conditions are met.

They encourage the European Commission to take additional aspects into account. The amendments to the EIC work programme must ensure that EIC beneficiaries have a leading role in the exploitation of the outcomes of EIC Pathfinder and Transition projects. In addition, when EIC inventors wish to play a more active role, a collaborative working relationship with the knowledge valorisation services of the employing research organisations should be ensured.

They furthermore recommend that the EIC inventors exercise their access rights on the basis of the institutional, regional and national rules, best practices and procedures on handling and management of IP.

The ten associations are committed to collaborating with the EIC Board and the European Commission to support translating the recommendations provided in their reaction into the future EIC work programme and Horizon Europe Model Grant Agreement.

The joint reaction was published with accompanying articles on the websites of the endorsing umbrella organisations for instance in the news section on the website of EARTO
