This article summarizes and reflects on both the process and outcome of a novel experiment to co-develop scientific research proposals in the field of Open Innovation in Science (OIS), wherein scholars engaged in the study of open and collaborative practices collaborated with the "users" of their research, i.e., scientists who apply such practices in their own research. The resulting co-developed research proposals focus on scientific collaboration, open data, and knowledge sharing and are available as an appendix to this article.

The monitoring of the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings shows that, in general, the respective legislation for corporate criminal liability already largely exists in the States' Parties. However, application of the legislation seems to lag behind, since relevant cases were identified in only a few States. By analysing these legal mechanisms with a focus on Austria, studying case law in Belgium and Cyprus, and conducting interviews with stakeholders, the authors identify obstacles for the application of corporate criminal liability in the context of THB. Based on case law, the paper analyses the potential of corporate criminal liability for exploited persons to have access to compensation and describes challenges in this field. Cases on corporate criminal liability for THB seem to focus on sanctioning the companies and ensuring compensation might be seen as a rather secondary priority. Policy Implications • Enhancing the application of corporate criminal liability could potentially improve access to compensation. • Monetary sanctions for corporate criminal liability are seen as too low and might not have the desired deterring effect. Hence, non-monetary sanction measures for corporations are equally as important. • In order to increase the number of cases in which a contractor can be held liable for THB by a subcontractor, conditions for chain-liability have to be further determined and clarified by law. • Litigating against the natural person and the legal person committing THB in parallel would be highly important in order to ensure holding a legal or natural person accountable. • The cooperation and exchange between relevant public and non-public actors dealing with general working conditions, trafficking in human beings, labour exploitation or underpayment, continues to be highly relevant in order to improve access to unpaid wages for exploited workers.
