It's a matter of perspective. I'd argue most European research falls under this. If you work at a public university and are paid for it and do research during that time and publish it that should be covered.
It would be pretty lame if only stuff that was explicitly funded in a research project would be covered.
- Fomite 10y agoResearch done on unfunded projects as part of a hard money position is super-tricky, which is why for a lot of things the restriction is funded research projects. For example, if your position is at a public university, but funded by an endowment from a private foundation, is it covered?
- Al-Khwarizmi 10y agoIf your position is at a public university, you probably work at a publicly-funded building, using publicly-funded electricity and heating, and publicly-funded office material. So I'd say it should be covered.
- Fomite 10y agoThe building I work in was built using money from two foundations. The electricity and heating, as well as office material, theoretically comes from grant indirects - which at the moment for me come entirely from private industry.
- Scarblac 10y agoIn Europe? I always thought that that sort of thing was common in the US, but it's surprising that it happens to that extent in Europe.
