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.

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 PhD students, in particular
their engagement by the national Industry.

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 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
(DiXiT). Later on, in 2012 two more were activated (PIXRAD and I-SEE)
while a third one is underway.

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.

The future of young researchers
• Placement : as we mostly live in Physics Departments, usually University
takes care of it (graduate and PhD 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 :

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.
