Exploitation of Results

• Exploitation, dissemination (open access), ownership and access rights as well as protection and licensing of IP should be considered.
• Open access in H2020 can be defined as the practice of providing on-line access to scientific information that is free of charge to the end-user.
• In the context of R&D, 'scientific information' can refer to peer-reviewed scientific research articles (published in academic journals) and also to scientific research data (data underlying publications, curated data and/or raw data).
• Therefore, effectively exploiting research results depends on the management of IP, which should be part of the overall management of knowledge in the project.
• In other words, Intellectual Property is the cornerstone of H2020 projects, due to its capacity to give its holders a competitive advantage in the market.
