Dear Network of Centers colleagues,
Last year, we organized a one day symposium on the impact of
corporate funding on information law and policy research, together
with HIIG and the European Hub.
Today we published the report on the meeting, which sums up the
main findings, concerns, and some recommendations.
The most important conclusions were the following: - The
discussion on funding must include data, infrastructure deals, and
other forms of indirect funding
- Sometimes corporate funding is the only way to get access to
critical resources
- Transparency is a must, but not a silver bullet to deal with
funding
- It is difficult to set up universal a priori norms of which
type of funding is acceptable in which situations,
- Academia may need new institutional solutions to review funding,
and manage the potential risks of funders taking over the agenda,
research bias, and reputational harms
- Public funding bodies are part of the problem as much of the
solution.
