SR2, 188 Tottenham Court Road

This session is part of the Doctoral School Skills Development programme and is open to postgraduate research students at UCL only. To book a place please login via the programme website.

All postgraduate students are producers and consumers of intellectual property and as such need to understand copyright and how it affects their work and research. This 1.5 hour session aims to introduce you to the basics of intellectual property, particularly copyright; how to protect your own work and avoid infringing the work of others; and to explain UCL's Student IPR policy and the IPR aspects of the deposit arrangements for theses submitted for UCL research degrees.

It will cover:

  • What is IPR and copyright?
  • What is protected and for how long
  • Fair dealing and copyright exceptions for education
  • Licence schemes
  • Copyright in the digital environment
  • UCL's Student IPR policy
  • IPR and deposit arrangements for UCL theses

There will be a time at the end of the session to deal with questions about individual projects or circumstances.
