Welcome and Setting the Scene - Representative of CSIC, Prof. Dr. Julia Priess-Buchheit, Coordinator of the IP4OS Project, and a Representative of the European Commission (TBC) 

Opening Keynote

Open Science as a Driver of European Innovation
Speaker: Prof. Jean-Claude Burgelman (TBC)
Key message
Europe already produces world-class research. The challenge is creating the conditions for that knowledge to generate scientific, societal and economic value while preserving the principles of Open Science. Responsible knowledge governance is not only a question of intellectual property, but also of institutional capacity, collaboration and trust.

Session I

High-Level Dialogue
Building Europe's Open Science Innovation Ecosystem
How can Europe strengthen knowledge valorisation while preserving the principles of Open Science? - This discussion, including current developments around securing data, brings together representatives from European institutions, research organisations, industry and civil society to reflect on the broader lessons emerging from the European innovation landscape. Consortium partners will bring into discussion Input from IP4OS Synergy Framework and White Paper

Discussion themes

• What are the main barriers to translating research into impact? 
• How can Open Science and competitiveness reinforce one another? 
• What role should universities, research organisations, funders, policy makers and industry play? 
• How can Europe strengthen trusted collaboration across the innovation ecosystem? 
• What capacities are needed to support responsible knowledge governance?

Networking Coffee Break
An extended networking break providing opportunities for researchers, policymakers, industry representatives and project partners to exchange ideas before the second part of the Summit.

Session II

IP4OS in Practice: Innovative Solutions for Responsible Knowledge Governance
From project results to institutional implementation
This session showcases the practical solutions developed through the IP4OS project and demonstrates how research organisations can strengthen responsible knowledge governance in practice.

Part I – Open Innovation Challenge Showcase (30 minutes)
University of Luxembourg
Presentation of the winning Open Innovation Challenge, highlighting the governance challenge addressed, the proposed solution and its potential for wider adoption.

University of Technology in Hamburg (TUHH)
Presentation of the winning Open Innovation Challenge, focusing on practical implementation, stakeholder collaboration and institutional impact.

Part II – Building Institutional Capacity (30 minutes)
Presentation of key IP4OS outcomes

• IP4OS Knowledge Valorisation Rubric 
• FAIR-R2L Responsible Knowledge Governance Framework – Supporting responsible knowledge sharing and valorisation 
• Multi-professional Teams – Bringing together legal, IP, Open Science, research management and data stewardship expertise to strengthen institutional decision-making

From practice to policy

The IP4OS Summit has demonstrated that Europe already possesses practical tools, governance models and institutional approaches capable of strengthening knowledge valorisation while preserving the principles of Open Science.

These experiences provide valuable evidence for the next stage of the discussion: how European policy can create the conditions for these approaches to scale across the European Research Area.

The conclusions emerging from the Summit will feed directly into the STOA Workshop at the European Parliament, where Members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and international experts will discuss the strategic implications for Europe's future framework on intellectual property, Open Science and AI.
