Funders' Collection Period 2017
In preparation for the forthcoming funders’ collection period between 6 February and 16 March 2017, the University of Cambridge is taking part in a pilot project to help its researchers (including students) by providing an automatic upload facility from Symplectic Elements to Researchfish.
Researchers who hold awards from RCUK, CRUK, NC3Rs and NIHR are encouraged to link their publications to their grants within Symplectic Elements by Friday 18 November 2016 so that the outputs will automatically upload into ResearchFish. There will be a second upload from Symplectic Elements to Researchfish taking place early January 2017 when any subsequently linked data will be uploaded. More information is available on the Research Operations website.
Node Administrators are invited to attend one of these workshops to help prepare for the RCUK data release checking exercise and submission period.

Agreement between the European Commission and the US Government
The European Commission has signed an Implementing Arrangement (IA) with the USA, allowing American legal entities to work with Horizon 2020-funded consortia outside of the scope of the Horizon 2020 grant agreement.
Under this new IA, American organisations will be able to approach consortia on Horizon 2020 projects and agree with the modalities of mutually beneficial collaborations even though they have not received EU funding and have not signed the grant agreement.
The Implementing Arrangement stipulates that each side will be subject to the laws, rules, policies, and regulations of their respective funding programs rather than being required to accept the EU set of rules. The original agreement can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/research/iscp/pdf/policy/eu-usa_implementing_arrangement_2016.pdf
