Research data

The provisions of the Copyright Act (UrhG) stipulate that only the author of a study or examination paper is authorised 
as its creator to use or exploit it and its results. However, for various reasons (e.g. in the field of contract research, 
in the case of further research work or the further development of existing work results), the University of Greifswald 
may also have a legitimate interest in making the work results of a study or examination paper scientifically and/or economically 
usable. The author and the University of Greifswald therefore enter into one of the following agreements to clarify
the copyright issues associated with the work:

  • Agreement AThe Author and the University are equally entitled to use and exploit the piece of written work.
  • Agreement BThe University is entitled to use and exploit the work. The Author retains the right to use the work and its results for their own scientific (non-commercial) purposes in research and teaching.
  • Agreement CAll rights remain with the Author. The University of Greifswald may reproduce the work.
  • Agreement DThe University of Greifswald is obliged by contract to ensure that a third party may use and exploit the work. The Author retains the right to use the work and its results for their own scientific (non-commercial) purposes in research and teaching.
