4 Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry The Electronic Physicist Figure Since the early sixties, the University of Milan has graduated about one thousand of EPhs Since the early sixties, the University of Milan has graduated about one thousand of EPhs Most of them are employed in the Lombard Industrial Basin Most of them are employed in the Lombard Industrial Basin Aerospace, Biomedical, Industrial Electronics, Instrumentation and Control, Power Processing, Digital Systems, Electron Devices Aerospace, Biomedical, Industrial Electronics, Instrumentation and Control, Power Processing, Digital Systems, Electron Devices

5 Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry ALENIA SPAZIO - LABEN Alenia Spazio - LABEN is a company of Finmeccanica, the largest aerospace group in Italy. Within Finmeccanica, LABEN recently merged with Alenia Spazio and changed his name from LABEN S.p.A. to Alenia Spazio - LABEN. LABEN was established in 1958 to design and manufacture electronic instruments for research in nuclear physics. Space activities started with the programs of the European organizations ELDO and ESRO, later merged into ESA - European Space Agency - and expanded more and more since then.
