Title: Open Science and IP: Enemies? Friends? Frenemies?

The Open Science paradigm is often perceived to be in conflict with traditional forms of protecting intellectual property (IP). This creates the impression that researchers and research managers have to choose between one or the other or,  in the worst case, are even confronted with two mutually exclusive demands when managing an EU funded Horizon project. But is this really the case?  

After a short introduction by Daniel Spichtinger we will hear from Javier de la Cueva, one of the co-authors of a 2022 study, funded by the EC on the issue of  “Open Science and Intellectual Property Rights. How can they better interact?”. Javier will present the main results of the study and we will then engage in a discussion with the participants.

Finally, the event will allow participants to give further input into the work of the EARMA Open Science group.
