At UCLouvain, we advise you to include this aspect in the data sharing agreement with your partners.

A data sharing agreement (DSA) is a convention between research partners that states several information  about the way data will be formatted, but also the way they will be (re)used and shared in the future (how data can be used and to which purpose). The DSA mentions data sources and ownership, and acknowledge partners’ responsibilities. Several complementary information such as Versioning, Naming, embargo period, etc., might be added.

You can also contact Marie-Anne Crijns (ADRE/RJUR, marie-anne.crijns@uclouvain.be) for any juridic advise.
