This OpenAIRE and EOSC-hub webinar covers Horizon 2020 rules and good practices approaches to addressing Open Data, Open Science and research results exploitation in Consortium Agreements and in Data Management Plans. It also specifically covers the issues of concern between Open Science and exploitation (patents, spin offs/ outs, confidentiality), business planning and licensing strategies. Presenter: Sy Holsinger, EOSC DIH Coordinator Webinar page: https://www.openaire.eu/item/open-science-and-research-results-exploitation-friends-or-foes

Innovation in the DIH context
What is a Digital Innovation Hub?
An ecosystem of start-ups, SMEs, large industries, researchers, accelerators
and investors that fosters the creation of partnerships to stimulate
innovation.

9. e-Infrastructure projects
- Project starts and ends in the middle of the lifecycles of the innovations
 Considerable background IP
- Building an open innovation platform -> enabler, maximal openness
Open source community (used both by industry and EOSC!)
- Drivers: reputation, kudos, acknowledgement (usually focused on an individual)
- IP protection as a tool to support the drivers
- Archetypes: Steve Wozniak, Linus Torvalds
Commercial development
- IP protection a driver in itself (IP ownership generating revenue)
- Ideal: rewards based on utility value
- Archetypes: Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison

The current DIH IP approach
• DIH partnership doesn’t require giving EOSC-hub access to IP
– ”You leave with what you come in with”
• Collaboration builds EOSC-hub innovation assets
– Skills, social capital, contact networks
• Jointly developed IP?
– Issue likely arise
– Assumption: needs to be managed on case by case basis
