Introduction to IP4OS in a nutshell

This presentation gives the first overview of the Horizon Europe IP4OS project. Advancing knowledge valorisation to enable transdisciplinary and cross-sector knowledge circulation is key to upgrading the European research landscape, resulting in economic, digital, ecological, and social benefits. That is why IP4OS advocates for a concerted Intellectual Property (IP) and Open Science (OS) approach: A complementary and supportive link between agile and fitting IP tools and the sharing of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable (FAIR) research outputs (data, results, codes, etc.). IP4OS's overall goal is toempower multi-professionals and their organisations with awareness, knowledge, skills, and advocacy tovalorise FAIR research outputs with effectively fitting IP tools.Firstly, IP4OS will publish a sound Synergy Framework - a Best Practice Manual mapping the relationshipbetween IP and OS, providing recommendations for best practices. Secondly, IP4OS raises 50% more awarenessin the Community of Practice (CoP) by informing about advocates, facts and figures on IP tools that support OSpractices. Furthermore, IP4OS will reach 300 trained professionals and additionally (at least) 27 multipliers formulti-professional teams from all European countries via several easy-to-use and sustainable educationalresources using the Synergy Framework and the Synergy Core Curriculum. Through all of IP4OS’s activities, theproject builds a new CoP for IP management to support OS and addresses 15 specific professions in training, which are actors, intermediaries, educators, and learners in the R&I landscape. The presentation shows clearly that this project is supporting researchers and their support stuff to foster excellency in ERA.
