Within the Flemish innovation collaboration program (VIS Decision), it is possible for partnerships, including collective centres, to annually submit proposals for collective research (CO), technological services (VIS-TD) and innovation stimulation (VIS-RIS and VIS-TIS). In the execution of projects, it may be decided to collaborate with other (research) institutions, such as competence centres, strategic research centres, universities and universities of applied sciences.
To streamline innovation collaboration, there is a growing need for collaboration and contract models. These models can help in contract negotiations and, consequently, make the VIS project itself more efficient. They can also remove uncertainties about the follow-up process: who plays a role in the implementation? Who holds intellectual property rights?
On behalf of VLOOT (Flemish Umbrella Organization of Technology Providers), Dialogic describes six forms of R&D and innovation collaboration. Associated model contracts are also being developed. Three legal experts are assisting Dialogic in drafting these contracts.
