WP 4.3: OBJECTIVES, PROPOSALS AND TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED WITH INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES David Alesini, INFN-LNF, Frascati, Italy (Convener) Andrea Ceracchi, CECOM, Roma (Co-convever) WP4: Innovation The overall objective of this Work Package is to promote the potential applications of mature Accelerator and Magnet technologies to European businesses, with a particular focus on innovative SMEs, which have the potential to apply their expertise to applications for societal needs through successful engagement with Technological Infrastructures. This can be broken down as follows: Identify a European network of commercial organisations, consisting of both large companies and SMEs, that has the potential to innovate in the field of mature Accelerator and Magnet technologies. Identify domains of societal applications and potential markets beyond Research Infrastructures that can be developed by these innovative commercial organisations. Identify ways to optimise the effective engagement between Industry and the Technological Infrastructure to support the development of societal applications by industry. WP 4.3 WP4.3 Identify existing good practices, and barriers to effective engagement, between Industry and the Technological Infrastructures (INFN, IFJ PAN, PSI) Identification of existing good practices, barriers and ways of promoting the effective engagement of the Technological Infrastructure (TI) in supporting the European Industries (EI) for developing commercial products and services that may benefit the society at large. Areas to be investigated include Intellectual Property policy, Patenting rules, knowledge sharing and other critical aspects related to the exploitation of competences, equipment and services available at the Technological Facilities (TF). A report on the analysis of acquired data and conclusion document will be prepared. In the first part of the report the findings of the acquired data are presented. In the second part we provide proposals of procedures for good collaboration practices to overcome barriers to effective engagement between EI and the TI. Specific areas covered will include Intellectual Property policy, Patenting rules, and usage of equipment at Research Laboratories for R&D or production purposes. Phase I: Interaction/contact with the TF, and a representative sample of companies to acquire data and information on the task relevant topics. The scope of this phase is: a) Identification and contact of a sample of EI (public relations, commercial, patent offices) involved in production of particle accelerators components; b) Identification and contact of Technological Facilities (TF) offices to acquire information on relations TF-EI. c) Classification of EI in term of competences (vacuum systems, RF sources/cavities, magnets) d) Preparation of a survey to be
