  1. Technology Transfer at INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) Italy Massimo Caccia Universita’ dell’Insubria at Como TTTF Workshop - CERN, July 2-3 2007

  2. My scientific life in a nutshell • The DELPHI detector at CERN (1986-2000) • SUCIMA [Silicon Ultrafast Cameras for electron and  sources In Medical Applications] - an EC FP5 project (2001-2004) • RAPSODI [Radiation Protection with Silicon Optoelectronic Devices & instruments ] - an EC FP6 project (2006-2008) • P-ILC: an INFN R&D project linked to the International Linear Collider (2006-2008)

  3. TT activities at INFN • a dedicated body [CNTF - Coordinamento Nazionale Trasferimento Tecnologico e Formazione Esterna] exists since October 1999 [I’m NOT part of it!] • main action lines: • Training (towards Universities and Company’s staff) • Cooperation Agreements with industries [a weak, not binding scheme meant as an exploratory action] • Research Contracts [a strong, binding scheme on a well defined action] • Service activities [access to INFN facilities and services] • ILO - Industrial Liason Office • A few [ILO] figures [Gentiloni-Salina: Impact of INFN Research Activity on Italian Industry - 2002; available at: http://server11.infn.it/ctt/Documenti/CVI_industrie1.PDF) Suppliers Innovation High Tech Suppliers R&D Top 337 contractors (Total Budget  60 MEUR) % companies with new products on the market resulting from INFN contracts Innovation: based on pre-existing know-how R&D: generating NEW knowledge

  4. My own personal input to the Workshop • Technology vs. Know-how Transfer • Transfer should be towards the industrial world AND other scientific disciplines • Towards Industry: • technology push vs. demand pull + service activities • licensing vs. entrepreneurial activities vs. joint projects • approach corporate companies or SME’s? • regional, continental or world wide focus? • Towards other disciplines: • profit from the EC-Framework Programs • profit from the Uni. & Research Centers “next door” • Measuring and evaluating the Transfer process is a must The strategy and the instruments obviously depend on the objectives
