Symposia and Conferences

Because LICeM (formerly Ercim) is a dynamic team that is always at the forefront of thinking in the fields of IP and IT, the team regularly organizes conferences, symposia, and seminars.

Agnès Robin led and coordinated a CommonData research program titled “Research Data: A Scientific Commons?”, which resulted in a series of six workshops focused on the openness and sharing of research data.

Among the many conferences organized by ERCIM:

  • Shared Intellectual Property, 2019
  • Smart Objects: Standards, Uses, and Responsibilities, 2015
  • Leveraging Research and Intellectual Property: Public-Private Partnerships, 2014
  • Biodiversity Conservation and the Law, 2012
