The Mission of CERN

q Push back the frontiers of knowledgeE.g. the secrets of the Big Bang …what was the matter like within the first moments of the Universe’s existence?

q Develop new technologies for accelerators and detectorsInformation technology - the Web and the GRIDMedicine - diagnosis and therapy

q Train scientists and engineers of tomorrow

q Unite people from different countries and cultures

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation

KT Mission

Maximize the technological and knowledge return to

society, in particular through Member States industry

Promote CERN’s image as a center of excellence for

technology and innovation

Demonstrate the importance and impact of fundamental

research investments

Key words are dissemination and impact

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 through Procurement

Results from a survey of companies involved in technology-intensive

procurement contracts with CERN.

178 questionnaires analyzed, related to 503 MCHF procurement

budget.

Results:

n 44% indicated technological learning

n 42% increased their international exposure

n 38% developed new products

n 36% indicated market learning

n 13% started new R&D teams

n 52% would have had poorer sales performance without CERN

n 41% would have had poorer technological performance

Knowledge Transfer through People

Every year, hundreds of

students come to CERN

to contribute to our

research programs

An opportunity for

young people to learn in

a multicultural

environment

Not only for physicists!

Also engineers,

computer scientists,

administrative

students…

Knowledge Transfer through EU Projects

CERN has received funding

in 87 FP7 projects and

coordinated 36 of

these.

Partners located in CERN’s

member and associate states

received 280 million euro

from the European

Commission in projects

where CERN is a partner.

The different sectors that CERN collaborates with

through EU projects.

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation

Knowledge Transfer through EU Projects

Accelerating development of high-performance detector

and imaging technologies for science and markets

Will bring opportunities for companies in the INEUSTAR-PIONEERS Programme
