About the event
Research funders have invested significant resources in both open research and fostering public-private research partnerships (PPRP) with an eye to commercialising publicly funded research. However, there has been less discussion of how PPRP navigate open research mandates when intellectual property (IP) rights are at stake.
This work in progress, drawing on interviews with research stakeholders (researchers, research support staff, and data stewards) and policy documents, builds on the literature of institutional logics to examine tensions in the Irish higher education research and innovation landscape regarding open science and commercialisation/intellectual property.
