Potenzialmente interessante (di sicuro lo è per noi di Nexa, visto che è dalla sua fondazione nel 2006 che ci chiediamo come comportarci dal punto di vista dei finanziamenti, v. https://nexa.polito.it/transparency-and-accountability). jc -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [noc] Money Talks? Report on the one day symposium on the impact of corporate funding on information law research Resent-Date: Fri, 08 May 2020 17:13:40 +0200 Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 15:13:09 +0000 From: Bodó, Balázs <B.Bodo@uva.nl> 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. https://www.ivir.nl/publicaties/download/money-talks-summary-report-final.pd...
