Open Research and Intellectual Property Protection

Join us for our May webinar in the Unlocking Knowledge Transfer series as we delve into the connections between Open Research, Knowledge Transfer and Intellectual Property Protection in the context of Irish publicly funded research institutions.

Open research, also known as Open Science, is an umbrella term for a global movement to ensure that research publications, and the data behind the findings of the research process, are made freely and openly available to the public instead of being locked behind paywalls. Irish research organisations have a dual role in making scientific knowledge openly available and accessible, whilst also contributing to innovation through the management of intellectual property from research.

This webinar will provide insights into the Irish initiatives to implement Open Research across the Higher Education sector and explore any perceived tensions between Open Research and protecting Intellectual Property.
