A national university hires a research assistant to work on a funded research project. The research assistant develops two outputs: (i) a data visualization tool (an interactive dashboard) and (ii) a teaching module on data ethics. The employment contract provides: 'All works prepared by the employee in connection with this project shall be owned by the University.' After completion, the University uses both outputs in its curricula and disseminates the dashboard to its colleges for internal use. Who owns the copyright in the two works? Do the authors' moral rights survive, and can the University modify or adapt the works without the RA's consent?
