Rights retention appears lately in funding requirements and policies as one of the tools to achieve an immediate access to knowledge. This is why it is necessary that both, the research staff and their institutions, retain the key rights to be able to freely reuse the research output. In this talk there will be presented the results of the Project Retain, which has analysed different institutional policies to preserve the intellectual property rights of the research output, and it will be discussed the key elements to take into account to apply a rights retention policy.
