ABSTRACT
The SIDENET project involves the national network of INFN structures which develop silicon sensors and detectors. It enhances the value of their activity through the support to research and the consolidation of the high level technologies developed. Silicon detectors can find an extended number of applications even outside the research field. SIDENET promotes technology transfer, training, coordination of scientific infrastructures, protection of intellectual property, fostering the development of new companies. Moreover the project activates the interaction with other research institutions and private entities, developing the necessary network of national relations with the perspective of the participation in international calls. Within SIDENET the projects and the laboratories of the 12 INFN structures operating in the silicon detectors context are gathering, this implies the participation of about 230 researchers and engineers, of them about 20% are under 35 and 20% female (see paragraph 10 c).
Total cost: MEUR.

ENERGY: safety sensors for the nuclear field
MADE IN ITALY: interaction between research products and production system
CULTURAL HERITAGE (among others sensors for PIXE analysis)
HOMELAND SECURITY: monitoring of radioactive sources
HEALTH AND LIFE SCIENCE devices for early and advanced diagnosis
SENSOR DEVICES for the measurement of physical quantities
AERONAUTICS AND SPACE: sensors with high time and energy resolution

The international excellence of our work has been documented by a research on the SCOPUS database, focused on experimental publications. The research is based on simple filters and requires the words “silicon detectors” and the affiliation “name of the institute”.

Detector costs versus performance factor. The performance factor indicates the degree of complexity that the detector can handle each second. This diagram shows increased marginal expenditure efficiency towards greater detector performance for digital and spectroscopic detectors.

Based on this considerations, the SIDENET project is intended to coordinate the various planning and implementation activities, to promote the cooperation of the researchers within several involved institutions, such as
CNR, INAF, FBK, Sincrotrone Trieste, ICTP………..
It will be equally focused on developing advanced devices for research and participating to the realisation of end products for other high added value applications, involving companies that operate in the field of advanced analysis instrumentation.

7. The INFN SIDENET Project aims to:
Enhance the value of the INFN research and training activity, with reference to the labour market issues, by promoting supplementary and subsidiary activities for the certification and the strengthening of the developed technologies.
Support research and development, technology transfer and training activities through the operational coordination of scientific and/or technological infrastructures and the value enhancement of research results, also through the protection of intellectual property and the development of new companies.
 Promote the participation of external bodies such as public institutions and private entities to scientific and technological activities, developing the necessary network of national and international relations.
