ExpectedOutcome:Projects are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes:
Analysis of how adequate IP management enables and boosts open science and how both open science and IP management are complementary in achieving a better dissemination and valorisation of knowledge;Specific training materials, modules or courses on Intellectual Property assets and open science, including how to manage IP assets to enable open access to scientific publications and to ensure scientific results are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (“FAIR principles”); the open licenses applied to the outputs deriving from this call will allow for their reusability by the wider R&I community; resulting training materials, modules or courses are expected to reuse or build on existing materials, updating them when necessary;High-quality training on the diverse aspects of IP management and how an adequate IP management enables open science delivered to research performing organisations’ professional and managerial staff and/or academic staff (“train the trainers”);Support the trainers in acting as multipliers of the acquired knowledge, in particular, by embedding t...

ExpectedOutcome:Projects are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes:
Analysis of how adequate IP management enables and boosts open science and how both open science and IP management are complementary in achieving a better dissemination and valorisation of knowledge;Specific training materials, modules or courses on Intellectual Property assets and open science, including how to manage IP assets to enable open access to scientific publications and to ensure scientific results are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (“FAIR principles”); the open licenses applied to the outputs deriving from this call will allow for their reusability by the wider R&I community; resulting training materials, modules or courses are expected to reuse or build on existing materials, updating them when necessary;High-quality training on the diverse aspects of IP management and how an adequate IP management enables open science delivered to research performing organisations’ professional and managerial staff and/or academic staff (“train the trainers”);Support the trainers in acting as multipliers of the acquired knowledge, in particular, by embedding the training materials, modules and courses resulting from the projects into the curricula/learning or research support material of research performing organisations;Gather experiences and share good practices for the further development of programmes and specialised courses on the topic; the project is expected to deposit the resulting good practices in the Knowledge Valorisation Platform[1] repository of best practices under IP management;Awareness-raising campaign on how an adequate management of IP enables and fosters open science; such a campaign is expected to be built on the previous awareness raising campaigns on IP management organised by the European Commission (Directorate General for Research and Innovation), with the European Patent Office (EPO), the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). These targeted outcomes in turn contribute to medium and long-term impacts:
Support to research performing organisations and researchers in practising open science by providing them with relevant training materials, sharing best practices and raising awareness on the importance of adequate IP management;Increased understanding among the research community of IP assets and the role their adequate management plays in enabling open science;Better management of IP in line with the Code of practice for the smart use of IP to be developed in 2022, including better IP management to facilitate open science;Improved overall capacities within the EU R&I system to conduct open science and implement it as a modus operandi of modern science for researchers and research organisations (e.g., by integrating the expected outcomes into their open science and IP policies).
Scope:Open science is an approach based on open cooperative work and systematic sharing of knowledge and tools as early and widely as possible in the scientific process. Adequate management of IPR over research results is necessary for such cooperative work and systematic sharing to happen. However, a lack of awareness and understanding of IPR -in particular given the complexity of the relevant legal and regulatory landscape- sometimes leads to mismanagement of IP and the consequent difficulty of researchers and institutions to determine how their research is disseminated.
Copyright is an area of particular importance for open science within the field of IP, since the bundle of rights that authors have on their original works (e.g., scientific publications or databases) allow them to set the conditions for their dissemination and re-use.
Greater awareness of their rights and how they can be exercised would help authors to make more informed choices and get them in control about the further usage of their research results. They will also align themselves better with open science practices and comply with funder open access mandates.
Adequate IP management is therefore an important enabler of open science. Against this context, there is the need to improve knowledge among researchers and their institutions of concepts such as copyright, licences and patents, leading to an understanding of the options at their disposal for, amongst other, archiving, posting, distributing and eventually publishing their scholarship in ways that enable open science in their own terms. There is also a need to improve the understanding of the relationship between open science and IP, in particular how the adequate management of IP lies at the very core of open science. This calls for supporting education and training in IP management that enables open science and for building capacity in research organisations and their staff, with the objective to support and equip researchers at all stages of their career with the knowledge they need in this area.
In contributing to the above-mentioned outputs, projects are expected to take into account the existing IP service delivery landscape and the existing training and capacity building efforts and materials offered by European Commission service contracts (i.e., IP Helpdesk[2], IP Scan[3], IP Booster[4]) and the work of EUIPO on copyright and trademarks and EPO´s work on patents. The projects are also expected to build on the European Commission code of practice for the smart use of IP (expected to be delivered in 2022) and further strengthen the relationship with open science.
Duration: The action should be no longer than 24 months.
