Open Science and Intellectual Property Symposium in Kiel

The symposium is the first part of the official launch of the new HorizonEurope project ‘IP4OS – Unpacking the possibilities of Intellectual Properties for Open Science’, coordinated by the University of Kiel and comprising experts from research, universities, transfer centres, companies, legal advice, libraries and scientific publishers from Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Bulgaria, Croatia, Canada, Italy, the UK and Belgium.

The aim of IP4OS is social innovation: to empower multi-professional teams and their organisations in European countries with knowledge, skills, awareness and advocacy to boost the valorisation of scientific knowledge in the ERA to a new level by promoting a concerted approach to agile Intellectual Property (IP) management and Open Science (OS) practices. Agile synergies between IP management and OS promote intensive knowledge transfer, making research accessible for social, environmental and economic benefits, while safeguarding intellectual property rights and the exploitation of research results.

The rich programme offers presentations on capacity building, Open Science, Intellectual Properties as well as security and licensing in research.
