Big Science Projects Finnish approach on in-kind packages and future co-operation with GSI/FAIR Antti Heikkilä, Finpro GSI/FAIR, 20 th April

Common approach for Big Science National coordination

Focus on joint R&D Knowledge transfer, learning National and international networking Market pull Idea/need at GSI/FAIR Project Industry Funding Finpro Big Science framework

R&D funding in FIN - Tekes Funding for R&D and development projects Feasibility studies for launching, finding opportunities and utilising the results of R&D projects Starting a new technology-based business Tekes Funding alternatives Tekes R&D -funding Funding for product or technology R&D with market potential, 15 – 50% of project budget TULI -funding For defining the business idea, 10k€ VARA -funding For preparing the project, partnering, business and R&D plans, 15k€ TUPAS -funding Funding makes it easier for SME’s to purchase research services, 15k€

Detector development co-operation? Silicon strip detectors Double sided Rad hard Thinned  low mass Might be a fruitfull project to pursue for!

Industry Patria Aerostructures Advanced composite structures Exel composite structures to CMS tracker Modulight Transmitter lasers for optical communication 1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm VTI Technologies High performance acceleration, inclination and pressure measurement based on MEMS technology, 3-axis measurement

Detectors and Sensors Oxford Instruments Analytical X-ray fluorescence analyzers Si and GaAs x-ray detectors for space Detection Technology Detector solutions and subsystems to Medical Imaging and Security and Safety Imaging Aboa Space Research (ASRO) Particle instruments – ESA’s BepiColombo Energetic particle measurements in space and data analysis More companies: VTT Detectors on 6” wafers, rad hard, thinned detectors, bump bonding of pixel detectors (e.g. Medipix)

Conclusions In-kind packages not yet decided Preferably not just HW deliveries – R&D component must be found Industry involved a long time at CERN - the experience can be transfered to GSI/FAIR Finland is very interested in GSI/FAIR R&D projects even outside in-kind packages

Thanks! Please contact me if you think the project of yours might need externalfunding and industry! Antti Heikkila
