IP4OS multi-professional teams are a way of solving the challenge of knowledge valorisation in research. They enhance knowledge valorisation, moving beyond traditional notions of Intellectual Property Rights. Additionally, they develop effective support strategies for researchers and serve as multipliers of the IP4OS' Valorisation Strategy within their institutions.
These teams consist of experts from various fields, from Intellectual Property to Open Science, providing comprehensive support at every stage of the research cycle. The teams ensure efficient usage of Intellectual Properties and follow the principle of optimal Knowledge Valorisation with a synergetic approach according to the “as open as possible, as closed as necessary” principle.
We at IP4OS support and empower these teams to consult effectively to achieve innovation and dissemination of research knowledge. Together with researchers, these teams evaluate research artefacts throughout the research cycle, determine which FAIR outputs to declare as Intellectual Property, and assess openness possibilities for effective valorisation with third-party collaborations and licensing agreements.
