Getting EU funding for your research project idea is great, but the process from project idea to submission of the full proposal is rough and tough. 20.000 proposals are submitted every year and every single one of these preparations goes through many challenges. Most of these challenges have the same overall characteristics, that can be minimized or eliminated by being aware of them already when starting the proposal process. This podcast is for proposals preparers looking for tips, tricks, advice or just an audible pad on the shoulder to deal with the unavoidable tough work

IP in Projects (Part 2) — damage control in real life
AI tools, ownership claims, documentation & dispute resolution

More: www.thegrant.eu/201-202

In 2nd half of this episode on IP in projects, I continue the conversation with Juan Luis Rodríguez Quintero (RTDS Group) looking at IP once things get messy: ownership claims, conflicts, blocking patents and results nobody planned for in the grant. We talk about why you should never leave everything to the lawyers, how to combine legal expertise with an understanding of research collaboration, and what to do when AI tools and prompts enter the picture. Who can actually claim ownership, and how do you get the consortium to recognise it?

We then move into damage control and good practice: transparent documentation of results and contributions (lab notebooks, photos, minutes), using the EU IPR Helpdesk and neutral IP managers, and putting business models on the table before running to the patent office. The goal: keep projects out of court, protect real commercial value, and still let researchers publish and build their careers.
