  15. WP3 – Synergy / Workshops EUCALL WP3 is planning several workshops for 2017/2018: • User Access at ALLs (for staff of new facilities such as ELI) [21-22.09.17] • Technology Transfer and Innovation at RIs [14-15.11.17] • Biology at Advanced Laser Light Sources [30.11-01.12.17] • Theory, Simulation and Computing at RIs [tbc 2018] • Societally Relevant Science at Advanced Laser Light Sources [26-27.04.18] • Building a Target Delivery Network for European Laser RIs [28-30.05.18] • Future Strategies for RI Operators and Policy Makers [06.09.18]

  16. Innovation at Advanced Laser Light Sources • Existing and future scientific output of RIs contains a multitude of short- and long-term applications of societal and industrial relevance. • Large RIs are important technology drivers by themselves through their state-of-the-art equipment, technologies, and methodologies, and through the limited life cycles and frequent upgrades of their equipment. • RIs can directly support innovations by offering research opportunities to industrial users. • This frequently results in the creation of a regional ecosystem of academic institutions, high-tech companies, and spin-offs in the vicinity of large RIs.

  17. European Cluster of Advanced Laser Light Sources

  18. Goals of this Workshop • Discussion of EUCALL’s defined challenge “promote innovation potential by the ensemble of facilities” • analyse the situation and innovation potential of the individual RIs of this project • develop and recommend strategies for the exploitation of new opportunities arising from the cooperation between accelerator-based and laser-based RIs • Develop and recommend specific activities to promote innovative technological and scientific developments. The recommendation will be developed together with the industry liaison officers of the partners, and include input from major national and international stakeholders

  19. EUCALL Surveys: Innovation Potential • Joint development of technology with industry • Support of spin-off companies • Industrial access to light sources EUCALL conducted interviews with: • All EUCALL consortium members • Soleil (France) • Spring-8 (Japan) • Diamond Light Source (UK) • Brookhaven National Lab (USA) A primary analysis of the results was created by EUCALL WP3 Deliverable 3.2 “Synergy and Innovation Potential of EUCALL”. (due 31.03.2018)

  20. Support of spin-off companies • Results presented the 14/11 at 16h30 by F. Canova (ELI-DC) • The RI’s Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) supports commercialization of the intellectual property (IP) via patenting and selling of a license, or grounding of spin-off companies. • Each RI interviewed has a different approach • Key discussion point: Publication vs commercialization vs spreading common knowledge and advancing research is a very important aspect of innovation, IP protection and open research

  21. Joint development of technology with industry • Results presented the 15/11 at 11h30 by G. Appleby EU-XFEL) • Large RIs are important technology drivers by themselves through their state-of-the-art equipment, technologies, and methodologies. • To ensure realization of such demanding technologies, many RIs collaborate with industrial suppliers. • Most RIs have examples of industrial collaboration in which a company has developed its existing product/s or created a new commercialized technology following the RI’s input or requirements.

  22. Industrial access to ALL-RIs • Results presented the 14/11 at 17h30and the 16/11 at 10h30 at the ESS session. • A percentage of an RIs’ beamtime is sold to industrial users. This contributes to economic development in the region. • The interest of industrial users is for analysis of materials using selected x-ray techniques • A common bottleneck is the lack of knowledge within industry about what is possible at advanced light sources (synchrotrons, FEL and HPL measurements).

  23. Goals of this Workshop • Deliver first results of EUCALL surveys • Create experience exchange between staff of “established” and “new” facilities • Stimulateexchange also withinthegroupof“established” facilities • Gain support for EUCALL’s overall goal for strategies for the exploitation of new opportunities arising from the cooperation between accelerator-based and laser-based RIs

  24. Goals of this Workshop • Experience exchange between established synchrotron/FEL facilities to the “new” ELI laser light sources • Invited presentations and panel discussions * * * * * * *

  25. CALIPSOplus/SINE2020 First Industry Officer Workshop 15 Nov, 14:00 – 16 Nov, 09:30

  26. CALIPSOplusIndustrial Outreach activities NA3 – European Light Sources for Industrial Innovation (ELSIIplus) • Cultural developments: Bring about change in industry attitude to light sources, and in a more common approach for light source to work together for industrial research and innovation (R&I). • Build capacity in industry, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to use light sources for their research and innovation needs. • Test and validate: generate real world industry/SME access and light source exemplars. Access program: ”Tailor-made for SMEs Trans-national Access (TamaTA)”.

  27. SINE2020 Industrial Outreach The Offer: Free measurements for industry • Service provided • Test measurement: Experimental measurement using well-established methods (e.g. powder diffraction, tomography) on a limited number of samples. The aim of the measurement is simply to demonstrate that variations between samples can be observed by the chosen technique. • Feasibility study: Development or adaptation of an existing method to guarantee output for specific types of sample. The study should, above all, clarify feasibility on one sample. A few other samples may be included to demonstrate the capacity to observe differences between them. • Data analysis: Provision of a final report on the experiment by the local experts, including clear and intelligible results.
