Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation G. Anelli, CMS CB Networking Event, Other ways of dissemination The Technology Transfer process: invention disclosure  IP protection  license to a company is difficult, especially for the world of particle physics. Collaborative R&D (with industry and other research institutes) is key for a successful transfer. Other ways of dissemination are also very important for the Organization

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation G. Anelli, CMS CB Networking Event, allows students to use a Timepix chip in the lab to visualise radiation Langton Ultimate Cosmic ray Intensity Detector uses 5 Timepix chips to monitor the radiation environment in Space Data from LUCID and detectors will be uploaded to the Grid and made available for students to analyse

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation G. Anelli, CMS CB Networking Event, CERN Easy Access IP

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation G. Anelli, CMS CB Networking Event, CERN Open Hardware Licence A legal framework to facilitate knowledge exchange across the electronic design community. In the spirit of knowledge and technology dissemination, the CERN OHL was created to govern the use, copying, modification and distribution of hardware design documentation, and the manufacture and distribution of products.

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation G. Anelli, CMS CB Networking Event, Incubators in the MS The STFC CERN BIC is a pilot scheme which we plan to replicate in other Member States Integration into existing structures is crucial To “fill” these incubators, we are working on a “pre-incubator” concept: CERN technologies + (external) fundings + (external) entrepreneurs  new companies generation

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation G. Anelli, CMS CB Networking Event, The STFC-CERN BIC in a nutshell The STFC - CERN Business Incubation Centre (BIC) pilot scheme will support businesses and entrepreneurs in taking CERN innovative technologies and know how from technical concept to market reality. A very efficient and highly visible way to transfer technologies. STFC provides: Funding: Accompanied technical visits to CERN GBP per company Access to expertise at STFC Business support (which may include advice on business planning, investment fund raising, finding collaborative partners) CERN provides: Use of CERN IP at favourable conditions Use of the “CERN Technology” and “CERN Spin off” labels Access to expertise at CERN – up to 40 hours free access to technical expertise and facilities (subject to availability)
