For help and discussions on all known Consortium Agreements we offer (united with EARTO) a special e-mail list "consortiumforum" which you may apply to.
For universities {members} the [U]-CA's are explained in depth -including DO's, DON'T-s and Be-Aware's -on the member-site.
FP 5
One of the tangible results of UNITE is the model for an "Unified Consortium Agreement" for FP5, developed together with the European Industry. This U-CA has become the practical international standard.

FP 7
One of the recent results of UNITE is the model for an " Consortium Agreement" for FP7, developed together with all major European stakeholders (Industry, Academia, Research_Institutes).
DESCA is presented on jan 17, 2007, and updated on a regular basis from there on.

FP 6     NoE
A group of organizations [EARMA,EARTO,ANRT,UNITE] have succeeded in making a unified agreement for *Networks of Excellence*.

From the evaluation in march 2004 we know this is the de-facto standard in Europe now

The German CA-team - including UNITE- and EARTO-members- developed a slightly different model for NoE's

FP 6    IP
(+ STREP)
EARTO and UNITE offer you their Earto-Unite model for Integrated Projects // STREP FP6 Consortium Agreements. [based on the IPCA]
This includes IPR clauses which are the most realistic and balanced for FP6, following the Rules of the CEC.

This is the CA advised by UNITE and EARTO

Also do read the shared EARTO _UNITE intro-pages and /or membersites for essential warnings and information.

Based on the succes of the U-CA for FP5, Industry and Academia tried to define the standard CA for FP6. The result is the IPCA. Sadly, we could not agree on IPR -as we found industry taking an approach which is in contradiction with the mind-set on IPR in FP6 - so each party has to fill in that chapter itself [=> our EARTO_UNITE-IPCA], but we agreed on the other chapters including the management of Integrated Projects, which is very important in FP6.

With a lot of help from UNITE and others the french ANRT made their taste of CA for FP6 Integrated Projects // STREP. Their approach is more or less diametral to the IPCA, but could serve in academic circumstances. IPR is not complete - seen from university view.

ANRT also made a CRAFT-CA, where we have no real feedback yet.
A typical german grouping led by Helmholtz Geschellschafft and including UNITE- and EARTO-members, called CA-team, developed slightly different models for FP6 Integrated Projects and STREP's. intro
