About FAIRagro

In the FAIRagro workshop “Legal Status Quo”, the special copyright features of research data were highlighted and researchers were sensitised in particular to the practical application of the legal provisions relevant to them. Based on concrete practical examples, a lively discussion developed after each presentation, which ensured the active participation of the participants. The mixture of short impulses on topics such as CC licences, good scientific practice and legal aspects of AI was very successful.

Until the “Legal Status Quo” workshop, I had little to do with the FAIRagro project as a consultant for technology transfer and law, but I registered out of interest and because the ATB is a participant in the consortium. It was a very successful workshop with stimulating discussions between the informative keynote speeches. I learnt a lot about copyright and the use of CC licences – in particular that the research data that our scientists collect and analyse is not protected by copyright per se. I was also impressed by the insight into the work and the associated challenges of a joint repository for the agricultural sciences.

Thank you for letting me get a taste of your work and for the great organisation, Lea.

From a data scientist’s perspective, legal issues relating to data are very important. However, they are not always given sufficient attention and are perhaps sometimes perceived as a little daunting. The workshop “Legal Status Quo of FAIRagro Partners” gave me an overview of the issue of licensing research data with great speakers. It was understandable and I admit – interesting and entertaining.
