KT FundFunding Innovation

• The KT Fund is a financial instrument which helps bridging the gap between CERN and society

• The requests are evaluated by a Committee composed by all the Department Heads and members of the KT Group

• The 12 projects submitted in 2011 and 2012 were all judged excellent by the committee and financed

Medipix• A family of single photon counting

integrated circuits used in Hybrid Silicon Pixel Detectors

• The Medipix collaborations (close to 20 institutes) contributed to the development and dissemination of the technology

• A good example of how (fundamental) science fosters innovation which can be transferred to society… and back!

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

CERN@school 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 CERN@school detectors will be uploaded to the Grid and made available for students to analyse

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.

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

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 + 40.000 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)

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…
