Abstract

Managing smart factory science projects from the legal side generates challenges of a regulatory nature. The grant agreement may stipulate that the consortium of stakeholders will need to continue after the end of the project, but in such a way that it is possible to make decisions and benefit from the projec’s results. Choosing a specific option implies that the consortium will have an entity. This raises considerable complications, as it requires consultation with the legal departments of the consortium partners and the construction of numerous links between the partners, mainly if the jointly developed solution consists of components produced by a different partner each time. The paper, therefore, put a creative solution - why not leave the nature of the social movement to the scientific project, and write the relationships between stakeholders and decision-making into the programming code? To answer this question, we present the state of the law related to DAOs and review the literature on whether the direction to apply this type of solution in smart factories is appropriate.
