Common use of During the Project Clause in Contracts

During the Project. and for a period of 1 year after the end of the Project, the dissemination of own Results by one or several Parties including but not restricted to publications and presentations, shall be governed by the procedure of Article 17.4 of the Grant Agreement and its Annex 5, Section Dissemination, subject to the following provisions. Prior notice of any planned publication shall be given to the other Parties at least 45 calendar days before the publication. Any objection to the planned publication shall be made in accordance with the Grant Agreement by written notice to the Coordinator and to the Party or Parties proposing the dissemination within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice. If no objection is made within the time limit stated above, the publication is permitted. The MGA obligation of Article 17.4 and its Annex 5, Section “Dissemination”, sub- section “Dissemination of results” on this procedure is not expressly limited in time at all. Participants need, however, a defined end of this obligation to ask their project partners before each publication. The limit can be adapted to the needs of the individual project and might span from directly after the end of the project to 5 years afterwards. To avoid doubt: "dissemination" as per its definition in the MGA does not cover patent application activities. The Horizon Europe MGA foresees 15 days deadline but allows to diverge. If the consortium finds it useful, distinction between different forms of dissemination can be made with different timeframes, for example for papers, abstracts, articles, monographs, etc.
