- akiselev 14y agoNo idea, these grants have complicated terms and probably quite a few loop holes. They'll still publish lots of the basic research but maybe not the really valuable industrial stuff.
- pfortuny 14y agoI do not think so: European Universities are largely State supported and afaik can patent whatever they want. But I do not know about this grant specifically.
- Jtsummers 14y agoIt's not uncommon for grants like that (in the US at least) to grant exclusivity rights for a period of time as a way to help motivate the research.
