Deliverable Summary

The Graphene Flagship has been continuously working towards a model to implement the Flagship in

its next phase under Horizon 2020. During the second reporting period, substantial efforts were placed

in negotiating the required Consortium Agreement. The negotiations were concluded in January 2016,

and it was agreed that any further issues would be resolved during the H2020 phase. A second issue

that has been addressed is the collaboration modalities with the Partnering Projects in the H2020

phase.


Update of H2020 Implementation Model

Preparation of the Graphene Flagship H2020 Consortium Agreement The proposal for the Graphene Flagship’s Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA), a long-term

endeavour describing the consortium and the action plan to reach the objectives of the Graphene

Flagship, was submitted in June 2014, approved by the EC in September 2014, and signed by the EC

in February 2015. Furthermore, the FPA was amended in October and December 2015 to include the

new partners that joined the consortium after October 2014.

Under the umbrella of the FPA, subsequent Core Projects will have budgets to carry out research

actions. Two conditions are linked to the participation in a Core Project: 1) Only partners in the FPA

can participate in a Core Project; and 2) Partners of the FPA must participate in successive Core

Projects and carry out the research tasks described in them.

The Framework Partnership Agreement requires, according to the implementation model of the

Flagship, a Consortium Agreement, which covers both the FPA and the Core Projects (which will be

implemented through specific grant agreements). Furthermore, the Consortium Agreement cannot

contradict the EC grant agreement for the Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA), or the Specific

Grant Agreements.

This section describes the work developed by the Coordination team to prepare the Graphene Flagship

Consortium Agreement for the H2020 phase.

The Coordination team was composed by the Graphene Flagship Director Jari Kinaret, Chalmers’

lawyer Michelle Abrahams and Graphene Flagship Project Manager Macarena Muñoz. All

modifications to the Consortium Agreement main text and all replies to the partners’ comments were

coordinated by Michelle Abraham. She worked closely with the Director and the Project Manager,

attending periodic physical/phone meetings to discuss the changes and comments on the Consortium

Agreement.

The Coordination team chose to build up the Consortium Agreement in three different stages that can

be summarised as follows:

Stage 1 – Preparation of the base document to be discussed with the reference group

In November 2014 Chalmers’ Lawyer Michelle Abrahams, Chalmers’ external legal counsel von Lode

Advokat, the Graphene Flagship Director and two Project Managers started working on the first draft

version of the Consortium Agreement. The main text was based on the FP7 Consortium Agreement, a

document already signed by 142 partners. The result of this work was a starting point document that,


keeping the line of the previous Consortium Agreement, was adapted to the FPA basis and the

extended consortium. This document was ready by January 2015.

Stage 2 – Discussion of the main text with the reference group

Since the Graphene Flagship consortium consists of more than 150 partners, it was not feasible to

open the agreement to a general re-negotiation. Therefore, in January 2015 the Coordination team

opened a negotiation of the main text with a representative group of partners from the academic,

institute and industrial sectors. This group comprised NOKIA R&D, NOKIA OYJ, CNRS, CEA, UCAM,

UNIMAN, IIT, ICFO, TUDelft, BASF, Fraunhofer, EPFL, DSM, Italcementi, IMEC and Ericsson. The

purpose of working with this reference group of partners was to discuss only the parts of the draft that

differed from the FP7 Consortium Agreement. There were four rounds of negotiations before reaching

an agreement on a common document:

- First round. The above-mentioned group of partners received the base document prepared by

the Coordination team. They were requested to consult their legal staff and send the

Coordinator any comments. Deadline for comments was 1 March 2015.

- Second round. The Coordinator compiled all the comments, modified the text where necessary

and provided answers to the comments/questions when needed. Partners received a new

version of the document and were requested to consult their legal staff and send the

Coordinator any comments. Deadline for comments was 17 April 2015.

- Third round. The Coordinator compiled all the comments, modified the text where necessary

and provided answers to the comments/questions when needed. This third round took more

time than expected due to the intensive activity period the Graphene Flagship was

experiencing (mainly due to the preparation and submission of the First Periodic Report and

the Core 1 proposal). Partners received a new version of the document and were again

requested to consult their legal staff and send the Coordinator any comments. Deadline for

commenting was 20 August 2015.

- Fourth round. The Coordinator compiled all the comments, modified the text where necessary



Coordinator any comments. Deadline for comments was 9 October 2015. After the fourth

round, the group of partners agreed on a consolidated version of the Consortium Agreement,

which was ready by the 26 October 2015

Stage 3 – Last modifications to the Consortium Agreement

As the reference group reached consensus, the agreed text on the Consortium Agreement was sent to

all members of the partnership. Instructions were to consult the appropriate legal staff at their

organisation and, if needed, to send additional information concerning the Consortium Agreement’s

attachments 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. Partners were also requested to send their comments on the H2020

Consortium Agreement, if any, only on the parts that differed from the FP7 Consortium Agreement and

only if the clause they referred to prevented their organisation of signing the H2020 Consortium


Agreement. There were two rounds of comments before agreeing on the final version of the

document:

- First round. The partners received the text agreed by the reference group and were requested

to consult their legal staff and send the Coordinator any comments, with the instructions

previously described. Deadline for commenting was 27 November 2015.

- Second round. The Coordinator compiled all the comments, modified the text where necessary



Coordinator any comments, before 13 January 2016. After this second round and the inclusion

of some extra information received after the deadline, no partner disagreed on the final text of

the Consortium Agreement, which was made available to all partners 1 February 2016.

On 1 February 2016 all partners were requested to sign the final version of the Consortium Agreement.

Partnering Projects under H2020 In order to prepare for the implementation of the partnering model under H2020, extensive negotiations

between the Graphene Flagships CP-CSA (in particular the Management and Alignment Work

Packages WP14 and 16), the national and regional funding agencies (NRFOs) within FLAG-ERA and

the European Commission have been conducted during the ramp-up phase. This has resulted in

defining the processes and modalities by which projects that are funded by NRFOs, EU Member States

governments or the private sector are integrated into the Graphene Flagship initiative following the

principles outlined in the EC Staff Working document1. In particular, we have developed a set of

procedures and documents that serve to implement the association which have been tested and used

to prepare for the association of the first Partnering Projects as of 1 April 2016.

Following the announcement in September 2015 of the outcome of the first FLAG-ERA Joint

Transnational Call, 13 collaborative projects have been selected for funding by the FLAG-ERA

consortium of funding agencies representing the first candidate Partnering Projects (PPs). These

projects have been submitted for approval as Partnering Project to the Graphene Flagship Executive

Board at the plenary meeting in November 2015 and were approved unanimously. The institutions

involved in these projects that are not part of Core 1 have been granted the status of Associated

Members. In order to encourage collaborations and synergies between these nationally funded

projects and the EC-funded Core Project, each PP has been allocated to a specific Core 1 Work

Package(s) and a communication between the respective scientific contacts has been established. The

final step that formalises the association of PPs to the Graphene Flagship is a signature of a

Memorandum of Understanding between representatives of the Core 1 WPs (typically a WP leader)

and the coordinator of the PP. This non-legally binding document describes the complementarities and

synergies between the Core and PPs and outlines the collaborations that will be carried out. It also

specifies the benefits of the new Associated Members.

The ramp-up phase was therefore very important to define and set-up all necessary steps to be able to

fully integrate new Partnering Projects and Associated Members under H2020. The current model is

based on discussions and requirements that align Core Project, EC and Member State’s expectations

at this point in time and may evolve and be refined depending on feedback and future developments.

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

for association of a Partnering Project to the Graphene Flagship

Preamble

The Graphene Flagship is 10-years research initiative that is built around a large Core Project (CP) funded by the European Commission (EC) and a number of Partnering Projects (PPs) mainly funded by the Member States and Associated Countries.

In 2015, the Graphene CP consortium signed with the EC a Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) which covers the duration of Horizon 2020 (H2020) and formalises the long-term commitment between the CP consortium and the EC. As the FPA does not include any budgetary commitment, the CP is funded by the EC in successive 2-years contract phases (i.e., Core 1 project - CP1, Core 2 project - CP2, etc.), which are defined in the FPA.1 Given such an implementation model and its associated contractual and financial aspects, the present MoU between a CP and a PP covers the duration of the CP1 Contract (01 April 2016 to 31 March 2018) or of the PP Contract, whatever is shorter, with the possibility for renewal.

Through its association to CP1 and its subsequent CPs, a PP is associating itself to the Graphene Flagship initiative.

Following the submitted application and the approval by the Graphene Flagship Executive Board/Management Panel, the project:

“TITLE OF THE PROJECT”

becomes associated to the Graphene Flagship initiative as a Partnering Project (PP).

The following organisations shall be granted the status of Associated Members:

Organisation 1 Organisation 2 … … …

The Associated Members of the PP intend to interact with the relevant Work Packages of the Graphene Flagship CP1 and contribute to the Graphene Flagship initiative by performing research and innovation activities in cooperation with the relevant CP1 Work Package(s).

1 Further details about this partnering model and its implementation are provided in the EC Staff Working

Document SWD (2014) 283.

2

The aim is to provide flexible and efficient mechanisms to perform research and innovation activities that will be in line with the overall objectives of the Graphene Flagship initiative and be of mutual benefit to all parties of the PP and of the CP1.

The PP is associated to the CP1 for the period DD/MM/YYYY until DD/MM/YYYY, with the possibility for renewal.

Interactions between the PP and the relevant CP1 Work Package(s), as decided by common agreement, are detailed in Annex 1.

Benefits of the Associated Members are described in Annex 2.

The PP and the CP1 bear their own costs incurred in connection with this MoU.

All additions or amendments concerning this MoU must be made in writing. In case of change of the technical content of either the PP or the CP1, the corresponding party shall diligently inform the other party in writing. Such change may lead to reassess the terms of the collaboration or to terminate this MoU.

This MoU does not address issues related to the access and/or exchange of confidential information between the parties. If such a need exists, parties should arrange to establish a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or a similar written document governing these issues.

Any of the two parties may decide to terminate this MoU at any time, in writing (with date of effect the date of the notice letter).

Entities) in the Project remains solely responsible for carrying out its relevant part of the Project and for

such third party’s compliance with the provisions of this Consortium Agreement, the EU-FPA and the EU-

SGA. It has to ensure that the involvement of third parties does not affect the rights and obligations of the

other Parties under this Consortium Agreement, the EU-FPA and the EU-SGA’s. Accordingly, Parties that

Therefore,

- the recipient Party shall in all cases be entirely and solely liable for the use to which it puts such

information and materials, and

- no Party granting Access Rights shall be liable in case of infringement of proprietary rights of a

third party resulting from any other Party (or its Affiliated Entities) exercising its Access Rights.

share of its EU financial contribution under the Project as identified in the EU-SGA´s or four hundred


18 (294)

thousand (400.000,00) EURO. However, for those parties whose share of the EU financial contribution is

less than fifty thousand (50,000) EURO it is agreed that the limit of liability shall be 50,000 EURO and not

their respective share of the EU financial contribution. The exclusions and limitations of liability stated under

this subsection shall not apply if the damage was caused by fraud, gross negligence or wilful acts.

The terms of this Consortium Agreement shall not be construed to amend or limit any Party’s statutory

liability.

5.3 Damage caused to third parties

Force Majeure. Each Party will notify the competent Consortium bodies of any Force Majeure without undue

delay. If the consequences of Force Majeure for the Project are not overcome within 6 weeks after such

notification, the transfer of tasks – if any – shall be decided by the competent Consortium bodies.

Compensation claims shall be excluded in case of Force Majeure or any restriction resulting from import or

export laws and regulations and/or any delay of the granting or extension of the import or export license or

any other governmental authorization in the event that a Party uses reasonable efforts to fulfil its tasks

properly and in time.

required for the fulfillment of any of its contractual obligations, such license or authorization will be issued

or extended in due time.

The Parties shall not be obliged to supply, export or transfer goods, technologies, software, results, services

and information or to perform other contractual obligations of this Consortium Agreement if such supply

would violate applicable import or export control laws or regulations of the Member States of the European

Union or another country.

In any such case, the Parties make every reasonable effort to resolve the matter in a way such that a

violation can be avoided. If this is not possible, and if the General Assembly decides that the affected tasks

form a substantial part of the tasks of the concerned Party, the Party concerned by import or export control

laws or regulations shall be entitled to terminate its participation in this Consortium with immediate effect

and the remaining Parties shall adapt the work to be performed under the SGA as may be required.

of budgets).

In case of exercise of veto, the GA members shall make every effort to resolve the matter which occasioned

the veto to the general satisfaction of all members.

A Party may not veto decisions relating to its identification as a Defaulting Party. The Defaulting Party may

not veto decisions relating to its participation and termination in the Project or the consequences of them.

A Party requesting to leave the Project and the Consortium Agreement may not veto decisions relating

thereto.

A Party that does not participate in the implementation of a specific Core Project, i.e. not carrying out action

6.6 Work packages

Work packages are topical research and innovation activities in a specific technology area. The work

packages will be defined in connection with each Core Project and governed by an EU-SGA.

Each work package will be led by a work package leader. The work package leaders shall be appointed as

set out in the EU-FPA, each EU-SGA and this Consortium Agreement. In case of any changes in relation

to such appointment, it shall be a matter for the Executive Board to approve of such change.

The role of the work package leaders is to:

- monitor the progress of the work package against work plan and budget allocations

- ensure that the work package fulfils the objectives, milestones and deliverables

- deliver management reports to the Coordinator

6.7 Science and Technology Officer (STO)

The Science and Technology Officer (STO) is the chairperson of the Management Panel. Together, the

STO and the Director have the overarching responsibility of the scientific and technological aspects of the

Flagship. The STO may not be a work package leader. The STO has a wide view of the different topics of

each Research and Innovation Division (Division), which enables him to promote cross-fertilization between

the various activities of the Flagship and incorporate feedback by the Science and Technology Forum

(STF).

6.8 Management Panel (MP)

The Management Panel (MP) is an implementing body that consists of the leaders of the research and

innovation divisions, the Director, the Science and Technology Officer, and the heads of the three

administrative units (HoI, HoA, and HoD). The MP implements the decisions of the EB and formulates

proposals in managing the Project. The MP shall meet as often as needed.

The tasks of the MP comprise

- Handling running issues that require scientific, technological and administrative competences,

including identification of Partnering Projects


30 (294)

- Organising the writing of proposals for new Core Projects and updating the action plan of the EU-

FPA based on input from the Science and Technology Forum and the SAC

6.9 Science and Technology Forum (STF)

The Science and Technology Forum (STF) is a discussion forum in which all work package leaders, their

deputies, Vice-Director, and other members of the Management Panel participate. The SAC is also invited

to attend the STF, and members of the EB may attend. The focus of the STF is science and technology

only. In the forum, Project progress is presented and cross-pollination between different topics encouraged.

The outcome of the STF meetings serves as a basis for selecting topics and directions for new Core

Projects and other activities.

6.10 Research and Innovation Divisions (Divisions)

The Research and Innovation Divisions are collections of scientific and technical work packages on related

topics or on comparable technology readiness level. Each Division is headed by a Division Head, who is

elected for one (1) year at the time by and among the leaders of the work packages in the Division. Each

Division Head is a member of the MP.

Divisions in a Core Project is governed under each EU-SGA.

The external Division is composed of Partnering Projects and Associated members who work towards goals

of the Flagship but who are not partners of the EU-FPA or the EU-SGA´s. The purpose of the external

Division is to provide a stronger interaction between the Core Project and related activities.

6.11 Strategic Advisory Council

The Consortium shall have a Strategic Advisory Council (SAC) consisting of experts within the science,

technology and industry concerning graphene. The key tasks for the SAC are to:

- advise the EB and the Director on strategic research decisions

- facilitate contacts with related national and international research programmes.

The membership of the SAC shall be personal and no substitutes shall be allowed. The SAC shall consist

of nine (9) members, which shall be appointed by the General Assembly, based on recommendations by

the NC Its members shall be at least three (3) from academia and at least three (3) from industry. The

members of the SAC shall serve three (3) year renewable terms.


31 (294)

The SAC will meet at least twice a year.

The SAC may choose its work as it sees fit and may engage a permanent secretary if it deems appropriate.

The SAC shall, together with the Executive Board and the General Assembly, elaborate on the progression

of the Project by including new partners to the Consortium Agreement or developing new research

directions. Together with the Coordinator and the EB, the SAC will promote the Flagship.

For the avoidance of doubt, the members of the SAC shall have no voting rights. The SAC shall not make

any decisions but only recommendations to the decision making bodies of the Consortium.

If the members of the SAC are not a Party within the Consortium, they are required to sign a non-disclosure

agreement with the Coordinator on behalf of the relevant Parties before any Confidential Information (see

Section 11 of this Consortium Agreement) is exchanged. The Coordinator is authorised to execute with

each of the members of the SAC a non-disclosure agreement, which terms shall not be less stringent than

those stipulated under this Consortium Agreement. The template NDA to be used shall be made in

coordination with all Parties in advance. The template must be approved by the Parties and may then only

be signed by the Coordinator in the exact form that was approved. Any amendments shall require new

approval.

6.12 Associated members

Organisations that participate in related activities to the Project other than this Project itself, funded for

instance by national means (e.g. through an ERA-NET project) may be invited to become “Associated

members” by the Executive Board. The Executive Board will appoint new Associated members upon

recommendation by national bodies or the European Commission or may itself identify new Associated

members. The Associated members may attend certain activities organised by the Project and take

advantage of some services provided by the Project, decided beforehand by the Executive Board, such as

list their publications and patents in the database maintained by the Project. Unless agreed explicitly in

advance in writing by the relevant Parties, no Confidential information of a Party under this Agreement may

be shared with the Associated Members. If agreed between the relevant Parties, the Associated members

may be requested to sign a confidentiality undertaking with the relevant Parties before participating in any

Project activities which terms shall not be less stringent than those stipulated under this Consortium

Agreement. Associated members and Parties to this Consortium Agreement may agree to have different

forms of collaboration on a case by case basis, provided that such agreements do not infringe on the rights

of other Parties, directly or indirectly, under this Consortium Agreement, the EU-FPA or an EU-SGA.


32 (294)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Associated members shall have no voting rights and are not parties to this

Consortium Agreement. Accordingly, they shall not have any Access Rights under this Consortium

Agreement.

Section 7: Financial provisions

7.1 General Principles

7.1.1 Distribution of Financial Contribution

The EU financial contribution to the Project shall be distributed by the Coordinator according to:

- the Consortium Budget as included in the Consortium Plan

- the approval of reports by the European Commission, and

- the provisions of payment in Section 7.3 of this Consortium Agreement.

A Party shall be funded only for its tasks carried out in accordance with the Consortium Plan.

Financial provisions related to Core Projects are set out in the EU-SGA´s.

7.1.2 Late delivery

All major agreed contributions to deliverables have to be submitted in the agreed time by the involved Party.

If, in the reasonable opinion of the Consortium body to whom delivery is made, the contribution is

unjustifiably late, such Consortium body may request the Coordinator to undertake any or all of the

following:

1) send an official letter to the responsible Party informing them of the late delivery and specifying

such late delivery is to be considered as not in accordance with the obligations herein, and/or

2) notify the European Commission and record the delay in the official management report to the

European Commission thirty (30) calendar days after the date the contribution is due;; and/or

3) raise the issue to the General Assembly and propose a vote to declare the Party to be a Defaulting

Party forty five (45) calendar days after the date the contribution is due and if applicable, impose a

delay in the payment to the Party in question.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, it is expected that the Coordinator shall make a decision to withhold

or recover any payments to a Defaulting Party as provided for in Section 7.3.2 based upon the particulars

of the late delivery in question subject to the rights of the Coordinator under the EU-FPA and the applicable

EU-SGA. The Coordinator shall take into account any mitigating factors put forward by the Party responsible

for such late delivery. It is understood that the Coordinator would normally adopt a process of escalation

with regard to repeated instances of late delivery by the same Party.


33 (294)

7.1.3 Justifying Costs

In accordance with its own usual accounting and management principles and practices, each Party shall

be solely responsible for justifying its costs with respect to the Project towards the European Commission.

Neither the Coordinator nor any of the other Parties shall be in any way liable or responsible for such

justification of costs towards the European Commission

7.1.4 Funding Principles

A Party which spends less than its allocated share of the Consortium Budget will be funded in accordance

with its actual duly justified eligible costs only.

A Party that spends more than its allocated share of the Consortium Budget will be funded only in respect

of duly justified eligible costs up to an amount not exceeding that share.

7.1.5 Financial Consequences of the termination of the participation of a Party

A Party leaving the Consortium shall refund all payments it has received except the amount of contribution

accepted by the European Commission or another contributor. Furthermore a Defaulting Party shall, within

the limits specified in Section 5.2 of this Consortium Agreement, bear any reasonable and justifiable

additional costs occurring to the other Parties in order to perform its and their tasks.

7.2 Budgeting

The Consortium Budget shall be valued in accordance with the usual accounting and management

principles and practices of the respective Parties.

7.3 Payments

7.3.1 Payments to Parties are the exclusive tasks of the Coordinator. In particular, the Coordinator shall:

- receive the EU financial contribution and distribute it in accordance with this Consortium Agreement

and the EU-SGAs and notify the Party concerned promptly of the date and composition of the

amount transferred to its bank account, giving the relevant references

- perform diligently its tasks in the proper administration of any funds and in maintaining financial

accounts

- undertake to keep the European Union’s financial contribution to the Project separated from its

normal business accounts, its own assets and property, except if the Coordinator is a Public Body

or is not entitled to do so due to statutory legislation.


34 (294)

7.3.2 All payments shall be made without undue delay by the Coordinator after receipt of funds from the

European Commission and shall be consistent with the accepted decisions of the General Assembly on

the Consortium Budget, which includes the payment distribution schedule. The payment distribution

schedule shall be provided by the Coordinator and shall contain the transfer of pre-financing and interim

payments to the Parties.

Payments to Parties will be handled according to the principles and modalities described in each EU-SGA.

The Coordinator is entitled to withhold any advances due to a Defaulting Party and to recover any payments

already paid to a Defaulting Party as per Section 7.1.2 above and subject to the rights of the Coordinator

under the EU-SGAs.

In addition to the above, the Coordinator is entitled to withhold any payments due to a Party identified by

the General Assembly to be a Defaulting Party under this Consortium Agreement and/or the EU-FPA,

and/or the EU-SGAs, or to a Party which has not yet signed this Consortium Agreement or the Accession

document in Attachment 3 to this Consortium Agreement.

Section 8: Results Regarding Results, [Section 3 of] the EU-FPA shall apply with the following additions:

Results shall be the property of the Party carrying out the work generating that Results.

Each Party undertakes to inform the Head of Innovation, of key performance indicators and Results

generated, which the Party reasonably deems to be of its current or future commercial interest. A general

overview of such Results shall be provided in writing. The Head of Innovation shall, subject to Confidentiality

obligations due to IPR protection or other Legitimate Interests of a Party inform the other Parties thereof.

For sake of clarity, no Access Rights are given through such communication;; the rules about granting of

Access Rights defined in Sections 8 and 9 shall apply.

The Parties’ attention is drawn to the fact that there are many other research programs funding projects

related to graphene (“Other Related Projects” or “ORPs”). Therefore, where research undertaken within the

Project involves Parties who are also working in research within the same or a similar area within an ORP,

the Parties concerned shall:

i) ensure they undertake reasonable efforts to clearly identify where and under which project

Results is created and undertake reasonable efforts to keep the Results of the Project and the

ORP clear and distinct from each other;;


35 (294)

ii) inform the relevant Consortium body/ies (such as work package leaders, the EB and the GA)

of any existing or potential conflict and collaborate with such body/ies to try to minimise the

impact of such conflict and find a workable solution that is in accordance with the EU-FPA, the

EU-SGA´s, this Consortium Agreement and the terms of the ORP;;

iii) where a conflict is unavoidable, and having undertaken the process in ii) above, ensure that

any Access Rights granted under this Consortium Agreement do not conflict with the terms of

the ORP. For example no exclusive Access Rights shall be granted to Results under either this

Consortium Agreement, the EU-FPA and/or the EU-SGA´s or under the terms of the ORP

without the express prior written consent of all Parties being affected by the granting of an

exclusive license hereto and those affected by it of the ORP.

8.1 Joint ownership

8.1.1 Where several Parties have jointly carried out work generating Results and only where their respective

share to the Results cannot be ascertained for the purpose of applying for, obtaining and/or maintaining

the relevant patent protection or any other intellectual property right, they shall have joint ownership of such

jointly owned Results (hereinafter “Joint Results”). The joint owners shall, within a six (6) month period as from the date of the generation of such Result, establish a written separate joint ownership agreement

regarding the allocation of ownership and terms of exercising, protecting, the division of related costs and

exploiting such jointly owned Results on a case by case basis.

Until the time a joint ownership agreement has been concluded such Results shall be owned by the joint

owners concerned (“Joint Owners”) in equal parts unless a Joint Owner can provide reasonable justification

that the ownership shall instead reasonably be divided in another way (e.g.pro rata to the contribution of a

Joint Owner to an inventive step, the intellectual contribution of a Joint Owner, the person months, costs

spent on the respective work, other financial contribution to the respective work etc.). In accordance with

the rules of participation to the H2020 program, a Joint Owner can also assign its share of the Joint Results,

once the Joint Result has been generated, to one or some of the Joint Owners as long as the assignment

does not prejudice the rights granted under this Consortium Agreement.

8.1.2 The Joint Owners of Joint Results shall use good faith and reasonable endeavours to agree between

them a Joint Ownership agreement for the Exploitation of such Joint Results. However, (and subject strictly

to the obligations within this clause) in the event a Joint Ownership agreement (i) has not yet been agreed,

or (ii) the Joint Owners are unable to reach full agreement within six (6) months of initiating negotiations,

each of the Joint Owners and their Affiliated Entities shall be entitled to exploit their Joint Results for non-

commercial research and teaching purposes on a royalty free basis and without requiring the prior consent

of the Joint Owners. Each of the Joint Owners and their Affiliated Entities shall be entitled to Exploit their


36 (294)

Joint Results for commercial purposes including to grant non-exclusive licenses to third parties but without

the right to sub-license strictly subject to the following conditions:

- at least forty five (45) calendar days prior notice must be given to the other Joint Owners before

the granting of non-exclusive licenses and

- a Fair and Reasonable compensation must be agreed with the other Joint Owner(s).

Notwithstanding the above, where such Joint Results incorporates registerable Intellectual Property Rights

(such as, but not limited to, a patentable technology) or a Party’s trade secrets or Confidential Information

the Joint Owners must establish a Joint Ownership agreement before any commercial Exploitation

(including research for the benefit of third parties) is made of the Joint Results.

8.1.3 Unless already agreed in a Joint Ownership agreement according to Section 8.1.2 and subject to

Section 8.1.4 below, protection measures, all costs related to applications for patents and other IPR

protection, maintenance, costs for bringing actions for infringements and division of related costs of Joint

Results shall be agreed between the Joint Owners in advance and all such costs shall be shared between

the Joint Owners pro rata to their share in the Joint Results. For the avoidance of doubt, a Joint Owner is

entitled to decide not to contribute to such costs for patent and/or other IPR protection. Any of the Joint

Owners may raise a request to the other Joint Owner(s). If such request is made, the Joint Owners shall

meet to discuss the drafting of the application and in which territories the rights shall be sought.

8.1.4

(a) If and when a Joint Owner decides not to contribute, or not to continue its contribution, as the case

may be, to the costs of application for or maintenance of patent or other IPR protection for the Joint

Results, for one or more countries or territories, it shall be entitled not to contribute, or to discontinue

its contribution, provided however that:

(i) it shall promptly notify the other Joint Owner(s) in writing of its decision;;

(ii) it shall forthwith, without any compensation other than what is regulated in (iii) below,

relinquish all its title to and interest in such jointly owned patents, patent applications or

other registered IPRs protecting such Joint Results for the countries or territories

concerned to the other owner(s) who contribute or continue their contribution, as the case

may be, to such costs in accordance with Section 8.1.3 above;; and

(iii) it shall lose its rights with respect to such jointly owned patents, patent applications or other

registered IPRs, related to the Joint Results, for the countries or territories concerned

(within the meaning of Section 8.1.4 (a)) as of the moment of notification, but subject,

however, to the retention of a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty free licence for

implementation of the Project and for Exploitation for the lifetime of the Intellectual Property

Right in or for the countries or territories concerned in favour of, and for the use by, such

Party as well as such Party’s Affiliated Entities


37 (294)

(b) Each Joint Owner of patents or patent applications or other IPRs protecting Joint Results shall at

their own expense, have the right to seek or maintain IPR protection for any such jointly owned

IPRs if an agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.3 has not been reached within ninety (90)

calendar days of a Joint Owner having notified the other Joint Owner(s) of the fact of a joint

invention, or, if an agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.3 has been reached, beyond the

protection which is covered by such agreement, and will in such case have full control over its

preparation, prosecution and maintenance, even though title to any issuing patent or other IPR will

be joint.

(c) Each Joint Owner of patents or patent applications or other IPRs protecting Joint Results shall, at

their own risk and expense, have the right to bring an action for infringement of any such jointly

owned IPRs.

8.2 Transfer of Results

8.2.1 Each Party may assign ownership of its own Results (including without limitation its share in Joint

Results, and all rights and obligations attaching to it) to any of its Affiliated Entities, or to another Third Party

identified in Attachment 4 to this Consortium Agreement without prior notification to the other Parties.

However:

(a) any such assignment shall be made subject to the Access Rights, the rights to obtain Access Rights

and the right to disseminate Results that are granted to the other Parties and their Affiliated Entities

in the EU-FPA, the EU-SGA´s and/or this Consortium Agreement. Therefore, each assignor shall

ensure that such assignment does not prejudice such rights of the other Parties or their Affiliated

Entities. This may be done, for example, (i) by effecting such assignment subject to a license back

to the assigning Party that is sufficient for the assigning Party to grant to the other Parties and their

Affiliated Entities such Access Rights, or (ii) by the assigning Party obtaining from the assignee of

the Results legally binding undertakings (that can be enforced by the other Parties and their

Affiliated Entities) to grant such Access Rights;; and

(b) the assignor shall pass on its obligations regarding the assigned Results to the assignee, including

the obligation to pass them on to any subsequent assignee., The assigning Party shall, either

before or within a reasonable period following assignment of any rights in any Results, ensure that

such assignment is subject to the principles in 8.2.1 (a) above. For all other transfers than those to

a Third party linked to a Party and/or Affiliated Entities identified in Attachment 4, shall the assigning

Party notify the other Parties of the assignment, including details of the Results assigned and the

identity and contact details of the assignee.


38 (294)

8.2.2 Each Party hereby waives any right to object to any assignment that is made in compliance with this

Section 8.2 and in accordance with the EU-FPA and the EU-SGA´s.

8.3 Dissemination

8.3.1 Publication

8.3.1.1 During the Project and for a period of 1 year after the end of the Project, dissemination activities

including but not restricted to publications and presentations shall be governed by the procedure [of Article

35] of the EU-FPA subject to the following provisions.

Prior notice of any planned publication shall be made thirty (30) calendar days before the publication. Any

objection to the planned publication shall be made in accordance with the EU-FPA in writing / email within

fifteen (15) calendar days after the notice. If no objection is made within the time limit stated above, the

publication is permitted.

The notices shall be made on the website of the Project at a restricted area and the planned publication

shall be included. The notices are deemed given when planned publications have been published on the

website at the restricted area and notifications have been sent to the other Parties.

8.3.1.2 An objection is justified if

(a) the objecting Party’s Legitimate Interests in relation to Background or Results or Confidential

Information are threatened or compromised by the publication;; or

(b) the protection of the objecting Party’s Results or Background is adversely affected.

The objection has to include a precise request for necessary modifications.

8.3.1.3 If an objection has been raised the involved Parties shall discuss how to overcome the justified

grounds for the objection on a timely basis (for example by amendment to the planned publication and/or

by protecting information before publication) and the objecting Party shall not unreasonably continue the

opposition if appropriate actions are performed following the discussion. Subject to the publishing Party

making reasonable requested amendments to the proposed publication under no circumstances may the

publication be delayed for more than sixty (60) calendar days following the objection.

8.3.2 Publication of another Party’s Results or Background

For the avoidance of doubt, a Party shall not publish Results or Background of another Party, even if such

Results or Background is amalgamated with the Party’s Results, without the other Party’s express prior

written approval. For the avoidance of doubt, the mere absence of an objection in accordance with Section

8.3.1 is not considered as an approval.


39 (294)

8.3.3 Cooperation obligations

The Parties undertake to cooperate to allow the timely submission, examination, publication and defence

of any dissertation or thesis for a degree that includes their Results or Background. However, confidentiality

and publication clauses have to be respected.

8.3.4 Use of names, logos or trademarks

Nothing in this Consortium Agreement shall be construed as conferring rights to use in advertising, publicity

or otherwise the name of the Parties or any of their logos or trademarks without their prior written approval.

8.4 Contributions to standards

The Parties shall agree rules and working procedures for any standardization related activities (including

but not limited to preparation and review of proposed contributions to any standard’s organization) within

the Project and any such activities need to be implemented in a manner that does not violate any applicable

antitrust laws and regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall have any obligation to make any

contribution for incorporation of its own Results, in any European or other standard. In addition, no Party

shall have the right to contribute to a standard or allow the contribution to a standard of any data which

constitutes Results, Background or Confidential Information of another Party, even where such data is

amalgamated with such first Party’s Results, Background, or Confidential Information or other information,

document or material, without such other Party’s prior written approval.

Section 9: Access Rights

9.1 Background covered

9.1.1 In Attachment 1, the Parties have identified and agreed on the Background that shall be included for

each of the planned Core Projects under the Project and have also, where relevant, informed each other

that Access Rights to specific Background is subject to legal restrictions or limits. In Attachment 2, the

Parties have identified and agreed on the Background that shall be excluded from each of the planned Core

Projects under the Project and have also, where relevant, informed each other that Access Rights to specific

Background that is explicitly excluded is subject to legal restrictions or limits. Each Party may choose

whether to identify its Background in Attachment 1 and/or Attachment 2.

Each Party may propose, during the term of the Project and not later than within the duration of the specific

Core Project it participates in to add into Attachment 1 and/or Attachment 2 a reference to any of its

Background not yet so listed.


40 (294)

Anything that is not identified in Attachment 1 or that is excluded in Attachment 2 shall not be the object of

Access Right obligations regarding Background.

9.1.2 If a Party has chosen to identify its Background in Attachment 1 the following shall apply:

Notwithstanding anything else in this Consortium Agreement, there shall be no obligation to grant, and no

right to be granted, Access Rights to any Background that is not listed as included in Attachment 1 to this

Consortium Agreement (“Unlisted Background“).Each Party agrees not to use knowingly, in the

implementation of the Project, any Unlisted Background, if such use would result in such Unlisted

Background being Needed by any other Party for implementation of the Project or Exploitation of that other

Party’s own Results.

If a Party has chosen to identify its Background in Attachment 2 the following shall apply:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph or elsewhere in this Consortium

Agreement, there shall be no obligation to grant, and no right to be granted, Access Rights to any

Background that is listed as excluded in Attachment 2 to this Consortium Agreement (“Listed Background“).

9.2 General Principles

9.2.1 Each Party shall implement its tasks in accordance with the Consortium Plan and shall bear sole

responsibility for ensuring that its acts within the Project and the specific Core Project(s) do not knowingly

infringe third party property rights.

9.2.2 Any Access Rights granted expressly exclude any rights to sublicense unless expressly stated

otherwise.

9.2.3 Access Rights shall be free of any administrative transfer costs.

9.2.4 Access Rights are granted on a non-exclusive basis.

9.2.5 Results and Background shall be used only for the purposes for which Access Rights to it have been

granted.

9.2.6 All requests for Access Rights shall be made in writing.

The granting of Access Rights may be made conditional on the acceptance of specific conditions aimed at

ensuring that these rights will be used only for the intended purpose and that appropriate confidentiality

obligations are in place.


41 (294)

9.2.7 The requesting Party must show that the Access Rights are Needed in relation to the Core Project it

participates in.

9.2.8 The Access Rights provisions in this section 9 shall only apply between Parties working together in a

Core Project, where Need arises out of the individual Core Project context. As a principle, no Access Rights

are Needed between Parties that do not collaborate in a Core Project.

9.2.9 Any and all Access Rights for Exploitation granted pursuant to this Consortium Agreement include

the right of Indirect Utilisation as such term is defined in Section 1 of this Consortium Agreement.

9.2.10 Each Party will make its best efforts ensure that it can grant Access Rights and fulfil the obligations

under this CA. The Partners shall undertake to take any and all necessary actions to safeguard that the

other Parties´ Access Rights are observed and complied with by its employees, subcontractors or other

persons under its control directly or indirectly engaged for the purpose of the Project.

9.3 Access Rights for implementation

Access Rights to Results and Background Needed for the performance of the own work of a Party under

the specific Core Project shall be granted on a royalty-free basis.

9.4 Access Rights for Exploitation

9.4.1 Access Rights to Results if Needed for Exploitation of a requesting Party’s own Results, including for

research on behalf of a third party, shall be granted on Fair and Reasonable conditions.

Access rights to Results for internal research activities and academic purposes shall be granted on a

royalty-free basis.

9.4.2 Access Rights to Background if Needed for Exploitation of a requesting Party’s own Results, including

for research on behalf of a third party, shall be granted on Fair and Reasonable conditions.

9.4.3 A request for Access Rights may be made up to twentyfour (24) months after the end of the Core

Project or, in the case of Section 9.7.2.1.2, after the termination of the requesting Party’s participation in

the Core Project.

9.5 Access Rights for Affiliated Entities

Each Party shall grant on written request, according to the provisions of Sections 9.2 – 9.4, Access Rights

to Results and Background to any other Party Affiliated Entity as if such Affiliated Entity were a Party to this

Consortium Agreement and the respective Core Project, and subject to the condition that such Affiliated


42 (294)

Entity undertakes to grant licenses and user rights, on terms identical to Access Rights granted under this

Consortium Agreement, to all Parties and their Affiliated Entities (subject to such Affiliated Entity also having

given such undertaking) and (without prejudice to the Parties’ obligations to carry out the Project and to

provide Project deliverables) to fulfil all confidentiality and other obligations towards the Commission and

the other Parties which were accepted by the Parties under the EU-FPA , the respective SGA or this

Consortium Agreement as if such Affiliated Entity was a Party. Access Rights granted to any Affiliated Entity

are subject to the continuation of the Access Rights of the Party of which it is an Affiliated Entity, and shall

automatically terminate upon termination of the Access Rights granted to such Party. Further, if an Affiliated

Entity fails in any material respect to comply with the undertaking given by it as above, and fails to rectify

the non-compliance after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so, all Access Rights granted to it

based upon that undertaking shall terminate.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.5 of this Consortium Agreement is intended to confer a benefit

on Affiliated Entities of the Parties by affording them the opportunity to obtain Access Rights, but it shall not

oblige any Affiliated Entity of any Party to accept the granting of any Access Rights.

Upon cessation of the status as an Affiliated Entity, any Access Rights granted to such former Affiliated

Entity shall lapse.

Further arrangements with Affiliated Entities may be negotiated in separate agreements.

For the avoidance of doubt, Access Rights must be requested in writing by the Affiliated Entity from the

Party that holds the Background or Results. Alternatively, the Party granting the Access Rights may

individually agree with the Party requesting the Access Rights to have the Access Rights include the right

to sublicense to the latter’s Affiliated Entities. Access Rights to Affiliated Entities shall be granted upon

written bilateral agreement in accordance with this Section and Sections 9.2 – 9.4.

9.6 Additional Access Rights

For the avoidance of doubt any grant of Access Rights not covered by the EU-FPA, EU-SGA´s or this

Consortium Agreement shall be at the absolute discretion of the owning Party and subject to such terms

and conditions as may be agreed between the owning and receiving Parties.

9.7 Access Rights for Parties entering or leaving the Project

9.7.1 New Parties entering the Project

As regards Results developed before the accession of the new Party, the new Party will be granted Access

Rights on the conditions applying for Access Rights to Background.


43 (294)

9.7.2 Parties leaving the Project

9.7.2.1 Access Rights granted to a leaving Party

9.7.2.1.1 Defaulting Party

Access Rights granted to a Defaulting Party and such Party’s right to request Access Rights shall cease

immediately upon receipt by the Defaulting Party of the formal notice of the decision of the General

Assembly to terminate its participation in the Project.

9.7.2.1.2 Non-defaulting Party/Non-participating in a Project

A non-defaulting Party

1) leaving voluntarily or

2) leaving due to its termination of participation from the EU-FPA because of not participating in a

Core Project or any other reason

shall have Access Rights to the Results developed until the date of the termination of its participation. It

may request Access Rights within the period of time specified in Section 9.4.3.

9.7.2.2 Access Rights to be granted by any leaving Party

Any Party leaving the Project shall continue to grant Access Rights pursuant to the EU-FPA, EU-SGA´s

and this Consortium Agreement as if it had remained a Party for the whole duration of the Project.

Section 10 Specific Provisions for Access Rights to Software For the avoidance of doubt, the general provisions for Access Rights provided for in Section 9 above are

applicable also to Software.

Parties’ Access Rights to Software do not include any right to receive source code or object code ported to

a certain hardware platform or any right to receive Software documentation in any particular form or detail,

but only as available from the Party granting the Access Rights.

Section 11: Non-disclosure of information 11.1 All information in whatever form or mode of transmission, which is disclosed by a Party (the “Disclosing

Party”) to any other Party (the “Recipient”) in connection with the Project or Core Project during its

implementation and which has been explicitly marked as “confidential”, or when disclosed orally, has been


44 (294)

identified as confidential at the time of disclosure and has been confirmed and designated in writing within

fifteen (15) calendar days from oral disclosure at the latest as confidential information by the Disclosing

Party, is “Confidential Information”.

11.2 The Recipients hereby undertake in addition and without prejudice to any commitment of non-

disclosure under the EU-FPA, for a period of four (4) years after the end of the Project

- not to use Confidential Information otherwise than for the purpose for which it was disclosed;; - not to disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent by the

Disclosing Party;;

- to ensure that internal distribution of Confidential Information by a Recipient shall take place on a

strict need-to-know basis;; and

- to return on Recipient’s cost to the Disclosing Party or to destroy all Confidential Information which

has been supplied to or acquired by the Recipients including all copies thereof and to delete all

information stored in a machine readable form. If needed for the recording of ongoing obligations,

the Recipients may however keep a copy for archival purposes only.

11.3 The Recipients shall be responsible for the fulfilment of the above obligations on the part of their

employees, subcontractors and shall ensure that their employees or subcontractor remain so obliged, as

far as legally possible, during and after the end of the Project and/or after the termination of employment

or subcontracting.

11.4 The above shall not apply for disclosure or use of Confidential Information, if and in so far as the

Recipient can show that:

- the Confidential Information becomes publicly available by means other than a breach of the

Recipient’s confidentiality obligations;;

- the Disclosing Party subsequently informs the Recipient that the Confidential Information is no

longer confidential;;

- the Confidential Information is communicated to the Recipient without any obligation of confidence

by a third party who is in lawful possession thereof and under no obligation of confidence to the

Disclosing Party;;

- the disclosure or communication of the Confidential Information is foreseen by provisions of the

EU-FPA;;

- the disclosure is due to mandatory national laws or mandatory national regulations or a national

court order or administrative order;;

- the Confidential Information, at any time, was developed by the Recipient completely independently

of any such disclosure by the Disclosing Party which can be shown by written records;; or

- the Confidential Information was already known to the Recipient prior to disclosure and the

Recipient can demonstrate such through contemporaneous documentation.


45 (294)

- the Recipient is required to disclose the Confidential Information in order to comply with applicable

national laws or regulations or with a court or administrative order, subject to the provision Section

11.7 hereunder.

11.5 The Recipient shall apply the same degree of care with regard to the Confidential Information disclosed

within the scope of the Project as with its own confidential and/or proprietary information, but in no case

less than reasonable care.

11.6 Each Party shall promptly advise the other Party in writing of any unauthorised disclosure,

misappropriation or misuse of Confidential Information after it becomes aware of such unauthorised

disclosure, misappropriation or misuse.

11.7 If any Party becomes aware that it will be required, or is likely to be required, to disclose Confidential

Information in order to comply with national laws or national regulations or with a national court or

administrative order, it shall, to the extent it is lawfully able to do so, prior to any such disclosure

(i) notify the Disclosing Party, and (ii) where it is legally possible comply with the Disclosing Party’s

reasonable instructions to protect the confidentiality of the information.

11.8 The confidentiality obligations under this Consortium Agreement and the EU-FPA shall not prevent

the communication of Confidential Information to the European Commission.

Section 12: Miscellaneous

12.1 Attachments, inconsistencies and severability

This Consortium Agreement consists of this core text and

Attachment 1 (Background included)

Attachment 2 (Background excluded)

Attachment 3 (Accession document)

Attachment 4 (List of Affiliated Entities and Third Parties to which transfer of Results is possible without

prior notice)

Attachment 5 (List of Third parties linked to a Party)

Attachment 6 (Initial list of GA Members and other contact persons)

In case the terms of this Consortium Agreement are in conflict with the terms of the EU-FPA or an EU-SGA,

the terms of the EU-FPA or the EU-SGA shall prevail. In case of conflicts between the attachments and the

core text of this Consortium Agreement, the latter shall prevail.


46 (294)

Should any provision of this Consortium Agreement become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall not

affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Consortium Agreement. In such a case, the Parties

concerned shall be entitled to request that a valid and practicable provision be negotiated which fulfils the

purpose of the original provision.

12.2 No representation, partnership or agency

The Parties shall not be entitled to act or to make legally binding declarations on behalf of any other Party.

Nothing in this Consortium Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a joint venture, agency, partnership,

interest grouping or any other kind of formal business grouping or entity between the Parties.

12.3 Notices and other communication

Any notice to be given under this Consortium Agreement shall be in writing to the addresses and recipients

as listed in the most current address list kept by the Coordinator based on the initial list of GA members

and other contact persons in Attachment 6.

Formal notices:

If it is required in this Consortium Agreement (Section 9.7.2.1.1) that a formal notice, consent or approval

shall be given, such notice shall be signed by an authorised representative of a Party and shall either be

served personally or sent by mail with recorded delivery.

Other communication:

Other communication between the Parties may also be effected by other means such as e-mail with

acknowledgement of receipt, which fulfils the conditions of written form.

Any change of persons or contact details shall be notified immediately by the respective Party to the

Coordinator. The address list shall be accessible to all concerned.

12.4 Assignment and amendments

No rights or obligations of the Parties arising from this Consortium Agreement may be assigned or

Parties’ right under Section 8.2 to transfer their Results to Affiliated Entities or Third parties listed

specifically in Attachment 4.

Amendments and modifications to the text of this Consortium Agreement not explicitly listed in Section 6.2.2

12.5 Mandatory national law

Nothing in this Consortium Agreement shall be deemed to require a Party to breach any mandatory

statutory law under which the Party is operating.

12.6 Language

This Consortium Agreement is drawn up in English, which language shall govern all documents, notices,

meetings, arbitral proceedings and processes relative thereto.

12.7 Applicable law

This Consortium Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of Belgium

excluding its conflict of law provisions.

12.8 Settlement of disputes

Should the affected Parties mutually agree to do so, the first step to handle any conflict between the Parties

shall be taken at the work package level. If a solution cannot be found at such level, the work package

leader reports the conflict to the Coordinator, and the Coordinator attempts to find a proper solution. If this

fails, the issue is taken to the following General Assembly meeting or one Party may opt to make use of

this Section 12.8 Settlement of disputes instead.

All disputes other than disputes relating to infringement of and/or validity of Intellectual Property Rights

arising out of or in connection with this Consortium Agreement, which cannot be solved amicably, shall be

finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more

arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

The place of arbitration shall be Brussels if not otherwise agreed by the conflicting Parties.

The award of the arbitration will be final and binding upon the Parties.

However, should any Party (e.g. a Public Body) provide reasonable justification that certain provisions of

its national law prevents it from submitting the relevant dispute to arbitration, the concerned Parties will

submit the dispute to the Courts of Brussels.

Nothing in this Consortium Agreement shall limit the Parties’ right to seek injunctive relief in any applicable

competent court of law.


48 (294)

Section 13: Signatures 13.1 This Consortium Agreement shall be signed 152 counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be

understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Every Party shall sign two (2) counterparts

of their respective signature page and shall send them to the Coordinator, which shall countersign them.

of the respective signature page countersigned by the Coordinator within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt

of the last signed counterpart

UNIZAR - Universidad de Zaragoza Fundación Agencia Aragonesa para la Investigación y el Desarrollo (ARAID) is under the case of a third

party "in kind contribution against payment" (article 11). ARAID researchers carry out their work at

universities and research centers located in Aragon for promoting the research, development and

innovation as key factor for regional development. In this case, the beneficiary makes a payment and

therefore incurs a cost. The beneficiaries may declare their costs for paying the in-kind contribution, but

only up to the costs actually incurred by the third party. The ARAID researcher concerned in this project is

Raul Arenal and carries out his work at the University of Zaragoza.
