Legal strategies for streamlining collaboration in an e-research world

This is a collection of papers that arose from discussions held at a Roundtable entiled: 'Streamlining Collaboration in an e-Research World' which was convened by the Legal Framework for e-Research Project and held on 12th and 13th of June of 2008 at the Queensland University of Technology. The Roundtable attracted some of Australia’s and the world’s leading thinkers and practitioners in this area and sought to explore methods and to recommend strategies for improving the efficiency of the legal processes that are used in e-Research collaboration. These ideas are presented in this collection and it also contains copies of submissions made to the Review of the Australian Innovation System in 2008 which set the context for the Roundtable and these papers.
