Initial contributions for December 2010/April 2011 second meeting of experts
At this meeting, experts were asked to provide their responses to the Joint Working Paper (see below), and were to present them to the rest of the experts and a group of invited students. Presentations were to be made in 4 groups, under the headings ""GeoScience and Business", "Partnerships and Sharing", "Intellectual Property" and “Competition and Regulation”. Unfortunately this event had to be cancelled because of the adverse weather in Scotland and an excellent meeting was then held on 13 April 2011.
The preliminary contributions of experts are provided below.
Please note that these contributions were put forward for discussion, should be treated as works in progress and should not be cited without the consent of the author.
