E3: Technology and Knowledge Transfer Session
- Massimo Caccia (Università dell'Insubria / Random Power)
The European Innovation Council (EIC) has been established under Horizon Europe as Europe’s flagship innovation programme to identify, develop and scale up breakthrough technologies and game changing innovations. With its budget of €10.1 billion for the period 2021-2027 it focuses mainly on high-risk innovation throughout the lifecycle from early stage research, to proof of concept, technology...
I will give an overview of the different measures DESY is taking to foster innovation and technology transfer. This is happening on four different levels. First DESY is systematically scouting for promising technologies and ideas for exploitation within the research teams. Second is that DESY is inviting the industry to cooperate with its scientists and use the scientific infrastructure within...
Max Planck Innovation (MI) is responsible for technology transfer from the research institutes of the Max Planck Society.
The Max Planck Society (MPG) operates as Germany’s most successful organization in basic research and is world renowned for its cutting-edge research. In many cases this cutting-edge research also forms the basis for innovative products and services that are implemented...
Large experiments, designed and built to answer questions of fundamental physics, have a very high level of frontier technology. One of the challenges we face today, alongside that of advancing knowledge, is to take these technologies out of the research field so that the advantage for society also translates into the country's competitive growth.
Building successful projects does not follow...
In 2018, the European Commission (EC)’s Horizon 2020 Programme funded ATTRACT phase 1, which supported 170 breakthrough technology concepts in the domain of detection and imaging technologies across Europe. The projects were each granted €100,000 in seed funding to create a proof-of-concept. ATTRACT co-innovation approach seeks to act as a bridge between two communities – research and industry...
After a general introduction of KT at CERN, its activities and some examples, the talk will cover the main opportunities for CERN KT partners and the main challenges associated to the sometimes tortuous path from research to commercialization and societal impact.
Future projects in particle and nuclear physics typically have a large scale in terms of complexity, size, technological requirements and associated costs. These projects therefore cannot be realised like earlier experiments in the field, where most of the equipments were designed, tested , built, and installed by academic researchers. For future projects cooperation with industry will be...
The detectors in experimental physics are typically custom made devices developed by the research groups who later use them for their experiments.The production of such detectors requires industrial processes.While the physicists and engineers designing the detectors need to have a good understanding of the details of the technologies offered by industry,the industry partners have to...
Random Power is a project, now turned into a start-up company, aimed to develop a platform of devices for random bit stream generation. The history of the company will be presented, from the idea flashing while working on single photon sensitive devices to awareness of the market potential, promotion through start-up competition and funding. The latter will be critically analysed, with a focus...
