Key Elements of the Lambert Model Agreements

The Key elements of the Lambert agreements are:

• the ownership and rights to use the results of the project;
• the financial and other contributions made by the commercial sponsor; and
• the university's use of the results for academic purposes.

These are the focus of the decision guide for the Research Collaboration Agreeements and also apply to the Consortium Agreements.
