The adoption of Open Science principles is necessary in order to ensure the best use and greatest impact of the investments put into research and innovation in Europe. This “IPR, Technology Transfer & Open Science” workshop was a one day meeting, gathering stakeholders research and innovation ecosystems to ask whether frictions between the IPR laws regulating the freedom of movement of knowledge and the Open Science principles could challenge the progression of Open Science.
The workshop aimed to bring together a wide range of expertise to answer the following questions:
● How do you strike the right balance between IPR protection and Open Science?
● How do you achieve the proper balance between the need to freely access data and the need for copyright protections?
● What is the best governance structure and copyright model for the future European Open Science Cloud to be launched in the next 18 months?
These three questions were addressed in three separate sessions:
Session 1 – The Interplay between Open Science Policy and IPR
Session 2 – The Impact of IPR on Open Data
Session 3 – The Impact of IPR and Privacy Rules on Research Data Infrastructures andJRC.I.4-Intellectual Property and Technology Transfe
