experiences qualifying participants for the task at hand. Describe how the participants

others, by highlighting the complementarities between them. Provide short profiles of the

persons in the table below.

For projects with large consortiums, describe how communication (channels, methods etc.)
between all partners will be organised and how decisions will be taken.
8.4. Consortium agreement and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) management.
Experience has shown that the signing of agreements governing intellectual property rights
between all parties is a time consuming process. Therefore fully fledged agreements should
only be signed when absolutely necessary. A Consortium Agreement and an Intellectual
property rights agreement is mandatory in the following cases:
• If intellectual property goes beyond simple authorship rights and a protection via patenting
of the project results is probable and/or there may be possible commercialisation of the
project results;
• A company or private institution is part of the consortium then;
• One of the parties involved explicitly requests such an agreement.
Consortium constellations that do not require a fully fledged agreement:
• If intellectual property is limited to scientific publications (and data sets), the consortium (in
this case the consortium is usually composed of universities and public research
institutions in and outside of Luxembourg) should:
- At least indicate in Annex V, how the authorship of the publications and the
management and access to the data sets are settled amongst the project partners,
- Indicate any other agreed upon statement between the parties or
- Sign a consortium agreement (only if it is specifically requested by the parties).
