University – Industry Collaborations in EU Funded R&D Programmes • H2020 offers huge opportunities for collaboration between universities and industry • However to turn this into commercial success, project coordinators and partners must learn how to navigate that particular context of IP exploitation • In this panel, experts will illustrate this issue from various points of view: researchers, SMEs, Large Enterprises; during and after the EC project
University-Industry collaboration– EC R&D projects: an asset for commercialisation? • What happens IP-wise when partners collaborate beyond national boundaries? • What does the EC expects in terms of IP exploitation? • Why is IP protection important to the EC? • The “open innovation model” is often promoted by the EC; but what does it mean for the academic partners? • How to manage partners’ expectations regarding IP & exploitation? • Why is IP exploitation/protection often a problem in SME projects? • How can this be resolved? • How is it different from the point of view of a Large Enterprise? • How does an LE leverage FP/H2020 for IP exploitation? • How does an LE manage the collaboration with other partners especially SMEs? • How can consortia successfully manage IP after the end of the EC project? • How to ensure the project results really get to the markets? • Universities created IP, what’s their responsibility to the consortium?
