Intellectual Properties and Open Science

This workshop is designed for academics keen on understanding the intricate relationships between intellectual property and open science practices. It shall give you insights into European practices and open doors for collaborations.

We will start with the Horizon Europe Framework and present European Guidelines, such as the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity and the Code of Practice on the management of intellectual assets for knowledge valorisation in the European Research Area, before diving into the latest approach to IP-OS Management.
