Knowledge and Technology Transfer @ INFN Speranza Falciano INFN Executive Board X seminar on Software for Nuclear, Subnuclera and Applied Physics 2 -8 June 2013, Porto Conte, Alghero

• The selected material aims to give you an idea of how INFN has handled the Knowledge and Technology Transfer over the years (last 10 years), its impact on the national Industry, where we are today and how we intend to be organized in future. • A few highlights of KTT based on software development.

Introduction (1) • The Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It makes theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. • All of the INFN’s research activities are undertaken within a framework of international competition, in close collaboration with Italian universities on the basis of solid academic partnerships spanning decades. Key point : fundamental research in Particle Physics requires the use of cutting-edge technology and instruments, mainly developed by INFN at its own laboratories and in collaboration with industries.

INFN places for Research & Developement INFN units : Sezioni (20) Gruppi collegati (11) Laboratori Nazionali (4) Centro Nazionale per Ricerca e Sviluppo nelle Tecnologie Informatiche e Telematiche EGO

INFN Scientific and Technological activity Our research is supervised by the 5 National Committees which take care of experimental and theoretical aspects and the correlated technologies : Sub-nuclear Physics (CSN 1) Astroparticle Physics (CSN 2) Special Projects Strategic Projects Nuclear Physics (CSN 3) Theoretical Physics (CSN 4) European Projects Interdisciplinary and Technological Research (CSN 5) Regional Projects

Introduction (2) While doing research activity, INFN also : • Collaborates with national and international research Institutions, contributing to reinforce the European Research area. • Promotes the training of young physicists in the field of fundamental and applied research. • Takes care of the dissemination of the scientific culture, mainly among young people. • Applies nuclear and subnuclear technologies to health, cultural heritage and environment. • Aims to scientific excellence by developing innovative instrumentation, possibly with the involvement of the national industry. • Deepens the interaction of the research activities with those of knowledge transfer to make the italian industries more competitive at an international level.

The collaboration with Industry (1) • Fundamental research requires advanced technologies that often are not part of the industrial know-how and which ask for innovative solutions. The searching of such solutions supplies continuosly occasions of knowledge and technology transfer to the social and industrial environment. • The collaboration of highly qualified partners allows INFN to be competitive in the international projects by developing complex instrumentation, at the same time this process allows to transfer to our industries competences which make them more competitive on the world market.

The collaboration with Industry (2) • The INFN technological research, oriented to the realization of advanced experiments, is motivated by the needs to develop new methods for particle acceleration and detection, new methods for data taking and data analysis. They represent a unique source of innovative technology in the fields of superconductivity, electronics, high precision mechanics, high performance network, imaging, etc. and therefore it is physiological for INFN to transmit to Industry the acquired knowledge during the research actvity.

Size and characteristics of the collaboration with national Industry • Investigation on interactions (supplies, tech-edge orders, common developments) with companies organized per geographical area (North, Center, South and islands). • Evaluation of the social and economic impact of these interaction with national Industry. • Careful study of the reasearch and collaboration agreements. • Investigation on the future of our graduated and Ph. D students, in particular their engagement by the national Industry.

Interaction model (1) Depending on the type of product to be acquired, there are two types of offer : 1. Product or service found on the catalog, selected on the basis of the best price : • Low-tech supply • High-tech supply

Interaction model (2) 2. Request of an innovative product : • The product specifications can be dealth with the technical capabilities of the Company which will be responsible for design and production. The product is an innovative application of the company know-how : tech-edge order. • The product specifications cannot be dealth only with the technical capabilities of the Company and the R&D phase is carried on in collaboration with INFN, the Company being responsible for the production process : development.

Phases to develop an innovative product : • Definition of user requirements • Solution searching • Design • Executive design • Prototyping test and update of the executive design • Series production • Production test • Installation Interaction Model Involvement of INFN Researchers and Technicians (design and test) • New product Company • Tranfer of advanced scientific and technical information • Introduction of new design methodologies • Use of advanced INFN instrumentation Technology Transfer to the Company

To summarize : • Strong regional impact. • Deep and incisive interaction with small and medium size Companies. • The impact has been evaluated in terms of : growing up of the Company, units of high-tech personnel, ability to widen the offer, increased ability to make new projects and new productions. • Some companies were born on the basis of continuative collaboration with INFN (spin-off). • Some macro-economic impact with an investment in innovation.

Before 2011 …. • Definition on paper of a National Committee for Technology Transfer : CNTT • In parallel, a light organization mainly devoted to “knowledge transfer” and research agreements, even some patenting. • Working hard to define a legal framework for KTT.

…. in 2011 -2012 …. A lot of work…. • Definition of the legal framework under which INFN personnel can perform work on behalf of third parties, management of intellectual properties, ways to reward personnel for participation to joint projects, creation and participation of INFN and its staff to spin-offs. Regulations exist now for : – – Technology Transfer Third-party activity Spin-off (Company) Patenting and licencing. • Scouting activity in each structure (labs or Unit) to organize and structure a collaborative offer of technologies and instruments to the external world and to promote the transfer of technology and know-how. Being a good scientist does not per se guarantees that the researchers fully understand the need of TT. Therefore we programmed to use specific courses aimed to train people using the Formazione Interna (Internal Training) projects. • Participation to European as well as national and regional programs supporting innovation and synergy with activities of the International HEP community, so far coordinate by the Technology Transfer Network of CERN members.

Third-party activities • Regulations to define how to split the revenues coming from activities on behalf of third parties was approved in 2006. Although the legislative framework was set so early, the start of third-party activities at INFN had to wait the change of the internal Regulations to integrate this item. • Starting summer 2011 the legal frame under which personnel can dedicate a fraction of his time to third-party activities was set and, indeed, since then the TT Office received from several INFN units the first requests indicating a real possibility to develop this area.

Patents A certain activity is visible, faster procedures and clear strategy. • Portfolio reorganized, – at present 12 patents of which • 6 of them were born in 2012 • 5 in progress • 8 old abandoned • Strategy: – If CNTT board and external experts agree • 1 year patent (publications possible) • After one year the valorization should be verified & discussed: – Either the patent is dismissed (no perspectives) – Or renewal and internationalization are proposed

Spin-off • Spin-offs are a key component of TT of Research Organizations. In September 2010 INFN approved the regulations for spin-offs and in January 2011 it was approved by the appropriate Ministries. Therefore both staff and associated personnel, now have the legal frame under which start a new business aimed to produce goods or services deriving (partially or totally) from researches performed within INFN Laboratories and units. • Following the approval of this Regulation, 2011 saw the first spin-off (Di. Xi. T). Later on, in 2012 two more were activated (PIXRAD and I-SEE) while a third one is underway.

Example: Consorzio Milano Ricerche is a no-profit organisation (in the form of "Consorzio") established in 1986 to promote and manage research and innovation through cooperative projects linking universities, research centres, industrial companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While manufacturing and innovation cycles are shorter, research and development entail growing costs for SMEs. This matter, along with the demand to close the informative and managerial gap about public funding for R&D and professional training, defined Milano Ricerche mission, that is: • • • to establish a permanent link between the academic world and industrial research; to promote technology transfer towards SMEs to encourage and manage R&D projects to endorse the creation of new enterprises in high-tech fields to encourage research and development of new technologies to promote vocational training.

CNR external funds

The future of young researchers • Placement : as we mostly live in Physics Departments, usually University takes care of it (graduate and Ph. D students). • Special training on innovative technologies : INFN co-funds with Universities and other public research Institutes the training of young people on high-tech topics (Masters; two-year fellowships in Informatics, Mechanics, Electronics, System Engineering, Material Science, Security; fellowships on innovative topics for Better Society and Competitive Industry within specific agreements with local institutions, consortia and so on). • Fellowship (Assegni di ricerca) for Industry : partially funded by INFN and Companies, they are the direct link between INFN and the national industry.

Masters

Fellowships for Industry • In 2010 -2011 the TT Committee activated a Fellowship Program partially funded by Industry and devoted to highlight in the production environment the knowledge, the methodologies and the technologies linked to the INFN research activity in the fields of Information Technology (ICT), Sensors, Electronics, Mechanics and System Engeneering, Analysis and qualification of materials. • The initiative, which combines TT and placement, has found a lot of interest in the industrial world. Indeed 116 Companies (in different Regions and from different production sectors) replied to the INFN call, among them we can see real national excellences (Ferrari, Ducati Corse, IBA, Ansaldo Nucleare, Telespazio, Alenia Areounatica, Centro Ricerche FIAT, OCEM, Magneti Marelli, Ansaldo Sistemi Industriali, etc. ), which highlights the ability of thecnological innovation and trainig of our Institute.

Industries selected for the fellowships • MAROTTA A. T. S. R. L. Production of high precision mechanic devices. • ANGELANTONI INDUSTRIE S. P. A. Cooling systems for industrial applications. • WISERPOWER S. R. L. Microgenerators of electrical power for mobile devices. • LOGITAL DIGITAL MEDIA S. R. L. Information Technology advices (Internet Services). • ESTECO S. R. L. Technologies and software systems applied to industrial design.

…. the future landscape • It is now (2012 -2013) necessary to reiforce the internal organization in order to exploit completely : – the consolidated rules – the technological infrastructure almost uniformely distributed in the italian Regions (a detailed mapping exists and will be available soon on the WEB) – the huge number of innovative devices and methodologies built for the experiments or already born with an interdisciplinary flavour. • Short term actions : we are improving our TT Office, proposing a more effective CNTT (less members, some at full time, giving guidelines), get a better link to the research activities in the INFN units via the local TT Reference persons, perform regular training programs during the year, pursue a couple of strategic projects.

Two fellowships to strengthen the TTO Profile : Junior Business –Portfolio Analyst INFN, the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics, is searching for a Junior Business – Portfolio Analyst to support the management of the intellectual property emerging from the world-class research done by the Institute. Tasks of the incumbent include: • • Help in identifying intellectual property with commercial potential that might result from basic research. Collaboration in assessing the patentability and commercial potential of that IP, and making key patenting and marketing decisions related to that IP. Assist in the marketing process to identify industry licensees or partners for joint developments. Assist in networking and building enduring relationships with industry. Qualifications: a BA or MA degree in physics, engineering or other technology focused faculties; working experience in Business Analysis/Portfolio Analysis in a Public Research Organisation is considered a valuable asset as well as knowledge of CMS systems like JOOMLA or TYPO 3 and of languages HTML and PHP.

• Some key points : – Organized network of 24 TT local Reference Persons well interfaced to the CNTT + Training on TT – Good link to other important INFN services such as : • Legal Office • External Funds Office (recently renewed) • Press Office – A useful and actractive WEB site. – A dedicated budget. • Some new points : – Perform a better scouting activity (for instance : identify very early – e. g. during the approval process - research activity which has potential commercial interest, find possible partners/competitors, in a few words and if appropriate, help the activity to be even more TT oriented and exploit peculiarities of the project). – Support a permanent working group to study the size and the characteristics of the collaboration with national Industry --> provide a working tool for data analysis.

KTT Organization KTT Office in the Central Administration Press Office External Funds Office CNTT Reasearch CSN Responsible Working group Secretariat + GE 2 -3 units of personnel (Fellows) EU TT Local Reference Persons PON POR … Legal Office WEB Site

An important tool : TT Web Site • Tool to be used to exchange information between Research and external world. • It must contain : - free and integrated info to public and companies about the available technologies, infrastructures and labs. - electronic catalog to ease the collaboration and communication with companies. - a complete database with the TT activities, in particular: • • • inventory of INFN projects with a potential commercial exploitation; tools to hanlde the Patent program; tools to handle the Spin-off burocracy. • For the time being a repository of rules, templates and various informations already useful, but we are working hard on it.

Summary on relations with Industries • The relationship between INFN and Industry shows how important is the collaboration between the research world and the Companies to produce innovation. • Up to now INFN induced motivation and development (also occupational) mainly towards small and medium sized Companies, but fostering the birth and consolidation of important ones. • Its impact on big companies (e. g. Ansaldo, Alenia, etc. ) has certainly been marginal from the financial point of view, but it has promoted and activated new production lines that contributed to a technological enrichment. • A good program of technological training, expecially for young people, exists. • In general, INFN has the capacity and the tools to make Technology Transfer mainly as “valorization of knowledge” because this is more suited for its mission, but it is now very much available and in favour to collaborate with Industry and the local environment.
