PGR Research Skills Programme

Session description: This session is an introduction to copyright and intellectual property. We’ll cover what intellectual property is and why it’s important for researchers to have an awareness of it. We’ll look more closely at copyright, what it is, and the different ways you as a researcher will need to consider copyright, both in regards to your own work, but also the work of others. We’ll then cover the University’s Intellectual Property Policy and publishing contracts. 

Learning outcomes:

• Develop an understanding of intellectual property and copyright.
• Learn about the University’s Intellectual Policy and recognise the impact it has on your own work.
• Develop and understanding of publishing contracts and what you need to consider.

This session will take place on Microsoft Teams and will be recorded.
