Monday November 11 th Knowledge transfer and industry involvement The impact of CERN on high tech industry developments Focus: The construction of the LHC ICABU2013: International Conference on Accelerators and Beam Utilization, Daejeon, Korea Jean-Marie Le Goff, PhD, DPhil Senior physicist CERN
2
The impact of CERN on High-tech developments From basic research to innovation and technology 2 Basic research has often been considered as a construction of mind requiring experiments for its validation Quantum physics has dramatically changed this view by considering the instrument themselves as essential constituents of the theory since these measurements actually interact with the phenomena being observed. Today: Designing, constructing and developing physics instruments and understanding the observations is central to the endeavours of most contemporary physics. Particle Physics infrastructures demand developments in applied sciences & high-tech engineering o Highly qualified experts o Groundbreaking technology and innovation are key to the success of large projects o Innovation occurs especially where basic research meets applied sciences and high-tech industry

The impact of CERN on High-tech developments 2: Economic benefit to High Tech industry involved in CERN’s procurement contracts in relation to their sales (73-87)* Interviews of 160 European firms (out of the 519 firms providing high tech equipment to CERN) which supplied estimates of their: Increased turnover on sales Cost savings on production and procedures due to CERN’s procurement contracts, in view of estimating the economic impact of scientific equipment necessary for carrying out the research and supplied by industry: Included: New products, quality improvements, productivity increases arising from procurements contracts Excluded: Direct impact on the economy of CERN’s material and personnel budget (multiplier effect) Quantitative results Every €1 paid to industrial firms generates €3 of additional business. 75% of the increased sales were to sectors outside particle physics, such as: solar energy, the electrical industry, railways, computers and telecommunication 4 ICABU 2013, Daejeon, November 11 th, 2013 Jean-Marie Le Goff *Economic utility resulting from CERN contracts M. Bianchi-Streit, et. all CERN 84-14

The impact of CERN on High-tech developments 2: LHC procurement Figures 4.3 Billion Swiss francs 1170 call for tenders/price enquiries 1040 contracts and 115 700 orders 6400 suppliers Strategy* CERN’s acts as general contractor. CERN makes the conceptual design of the accelerators and it’s main components (plus part of the hardware for the detectors) and subcontracts to industry. CERN’s requirements are divided into two categories Standard products –The responsibility lies with the supplier (power converters, transformers, cryoplants) –A performance specification using international quality standards is the basis for tendering New products requiring a conceptual design phase. The manufacturing methodology has to be developed –These products are strategic and exclusively designed for CERN needs –To reduce price and risk, CERN buys most of the components. This gives better control over the production and allows to spread the procurement over all the Member States as more companies can be involved 5 (*) T.

The impact of CERN on High-tech developments 3: TT & Technological learning through procurement activities (3) The benefits assessed by the present study suggest that, for this subpopulation of companies participating in highly demanding development and cutting-edge technological projects, conventional procurements and stringent requirements are not the most appropriate modes of interaction when one wishes to foster learning and innovation in the long term. Some measures to facilitate true R&D partnership with industrial partners are required. 7 38% developed new products as a direct result of the supplier project 13% started new R&D teams because of the CERN project 14% started a new business unit 17% opened a new market 42% increased their international exposure 44% indicated technological learning 36% indicated market learning Main findings ICABU 2013, Daejeon, November 11 th, 2013 Jean-Marie Le Goff

13
The impact of CERN on High-tech developments Revenues from TT activities Revenues generated to finance applied R&D activities and from commercial activities are equivalent On average CERN receives: About 940 kCHF/year from industry to finance the development of pre-industrial prototypes in which CERN technologies play a key role This funding covers: –Material costs –Access to CERN services –Personnel devoted to the project About 920kCHF/year from commercial activities This revenue is from: –Commercial licences –Services and consultancy –Commercial exploitation of the results of R&D activities This revenue is used to cover: –Departments and Groups costs (experts and material) –KTT costs (administration, patents) After cost deduction, the net revenue is redistributed to: –The Departments and Groups involved in the TT activities –The KTT fund for promoting new activities 13 ICABU 2013, Daejeon, November 11 th, 2013 Jean-Marie Le Goff
14
The impact of CERN on High-tech developments 3: TT lessons learned from the construction of the LHC A large scale physics research programme boosts innovation 90% of the technology disclosures to the KTT group during the period of analysis corresponded to technologies & know-how related to the LHC programme The LHC programme has fostered a rich variety of technologies and know-how Showing effective transfer 50% of the technology portfolio is exploited The maturity of the technologies increases the chances of transfer 71% of the technologies with high readiness level (3) are exploited A large fraction of the CERN know-how and technologies is not patentable Patents are not the most suited protection for know-how and electronics Complex joint-ownership of developments reduces chances of filing patents Results of R&D partnerships with industry are an additional source of patents (co-ownership) Pooling PP technologies can enhance dissemination prospects Various institutions are working on the same technology topic Pooling results can make the PP offering more attractive to industry 14 ICABU 2013, Daejeon, November 11 th, 2013 Jean-Marie Le Goff
15
The impact of CERN on High-tech developments 3: TT Lessons learned (2) CERN technologies can be used in various domains but a large fraction lacks readiness Only 51% of the technologies are at the highest technology readiness level for transfer Promoting technologies and know-how is often insufficient to attract industrial interests Difficulty to identify pertinent applications where: The technology should be adapted to the needs of industry The use of the technology will definitely give industry a competitive advantage No alternative technology is easily accessible to industry Lack of dedicated funds to finance early demonstrators aiming to attract industrial interests CERN technologies require further applied R&D to increase their market readiness About half of the contractual arrangements addresses R&D matters About 50% of the annual revenue is for financing R&D activities aiming to get closer to the market Typical time to market for PP technologies ranges between 8 to 15 years Typical R&D project duration ranges between 3 to 5 years Commercialisation of products occurs typically 8 to 10 years after patent filing 15 ICABU 2013, Daejeon, November 11 th, 2013 Jean-Marie Le Goff
