| Abstract: | The Legal Framework for e-Research Project lead by Professor Brian
Fitzgerald and hosted by the Queensland University of Technology
(QUT) is funded by the Australian Commonwealth Department of
Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), formerly
Education, Science and Training (DEST), under the Systemic
Infrastructure Initiative (SII), Research Information Infrastructure
Framework for Australian Higher Education, as part of the
Commonwealth Government’s Backing Australia’s Ability – An Innovation
Action Plan for the Future (BAA).
The Project involves mapping out a sophisticated legal framework for e-
Research and collaborative innovation. As we transition into the
National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)2 era it is vitally important that social and legal aspects of the e-Research
framework are developed in step with the rapid advances in technology.
Only little work has been done in this area worldwide.
This project is linking with key international actors to provide an
internationally significant project. While the Open Access to
Knowledge (OAK) Law Project3 aims to examine the role of open
access to all in an Internet world, this project also focuses on open
innovation within secure knowledge communities – both are vital
aspects of the e-Research framework. The critical issue is working out
legal models for e-Research that reflect the capacity of the technologies
involved and can be implemented quickly, effectively and (in many
instances) in an automated way. |
