Interactive Virtual Roundtable for EU Project CO-VERSATILE, 3/4

Topic of the 3rd VRT: Intellectual property/data usage agreement, ownership of data and discoverability, visibility and re-use of project outcomes.

The aim was to raise awareness and promote an environment that would encourage the discussion and production of a Results Ownership List - ROL and address ethical, legal and intellectual property aspects. Discussed topics:

• Definition of the ROL
• Data aspects in the Digital Technopole
• FAIR for Industry
• Guided discussion with focus on discoverability, visibility and re-use of project outcomes (FAIRification); intellectual property/data usage agreement; ownership of data/services; user concept and ROL

Project context

A series of four Interactive Virtual Roundtables (VRTs) was organised within the CO-VERSATILE project. A VRT is an activity and space developed to raise awareness, foster knowledge transfer, generate conceptual alignment, and initiate the adoption of corrective measures whenever there is a demand or a need.

• 1st VRT: Legal and Ethical issues
• 2nd VRT: Gender and Intersectionality – Theories, tools and benefits within the context of the Co-Versatile project.
• 3rd VRT: Intellectual Property – Data usage agreement, ownership of data and discoverability, visibility and re-use of project outcomes
• 4th VRT: About Results Ownership List (ROL)

Furthermore, the VRTs also opened space for:

• Indication of relevant/supportive documents (i.e. GEAR – Gender Equality in Academia and Research)
• Collection of partners' testimonials presented in the 1st VRT (i.e. WP2 – Build, Measure and Learn and WP5 - Communication & dissemination activities)
• Conducting internal surveys (to monitor and collect data)
• Development of auxiliary documents for the consortium members' use, such as dossiers, templates and deliverables.
