The Consortium Agreement What is it good for . . .?
Situation at the beginning of the FAIR Construction of new Infrastructure (CNI) 13 different institutions involved => 13 different intentions and goals? The overall goal:Research under the best, most efficient and nondiscriminatory general conditions to reach excellent scientific results for the benefit of all participants of the project and for the EU
Two Contracts to ensure the „Overall goal“ • The Core-Contract and its Annexes regulates the relationship between the Consortium and the EU 2.The Consortium Agreement regulates the relationship between the 13 participants of the FAIR CNI
Purpose of the CA So many regulations – Too many regulations . . .? No!
Purpose of the CA In the 5th framework programme some major problems regarding Management, Liability and IPR appeared during the project duration and many projects failed because no agreement between the participants could be reached at this point anymore!
Purpose of the CA It‘s good to agree on rules in the beginning of a project so everybody is aware of his responsibilities and not to forget: his rights That‘s what a CA is good for!
Purpose of the CA And never forget: The best Contract is the one you sign and you never have to look at again!
