Open Access to Environmental Data Moves Forward
In a parallel to Resource Renewal Institute's proposed California
Environmental Data Platform, the European Commission and Council,
promulgated a "Recommendation on the management of intellectual property
in knowledge transfer activities and code of Practice for universities and
other public research organizations." The purpose is to facilitate
knowledge transfer as a strategic mission by taking steps to encourage
open access to research results while enabling the intellectual property
to be protected in a manner that facilitates cross-border collaborations
in research and development and ensures equitable and fair treatment of
participants. The ultimate goal is the circulation and use of ideas in a
dynamic knowledge society. The EU database will be a model and a resource
for RRI's CEDP.
