MONTEGANCEDO International Campus of Excellence (ICE) ICE oriented towards technology innovation

1. MONTEGANCEDO International Campus of Excellence (ICE) ICE oriented towards technology innovation Edinburgh, MAY 2011 1

2. Why Montegancedois a Campus of Excellence? New Campus were the UPM was interested in the creation and location of new research centres or joint labs with other entities from an interdisciplinary perspective (emphasis on ICT and biotech) Possibilities to explore new approaches for long-term cooperation with industry based on institutional support and shared commitments Implement a user-driven open innovation scheme by emphasising the exploitation of research results 2

3. Montegancedo today 500 researchers, 200 professors and 3,500 students 6 research centres in operation , Faculty of Informatics, Advanced services on RTD and innovation International Campus of Excellence “focused on the support to technology innovation” 3

4. Montegancedo: a model for open innovation Education Faculty of Informatics The three axes of the knowledge triangle complement and reinforce the model Montegancedo is linked to the rest of the UPM from an international perspective Graduate International School Graduate courses in research centres CITA Construction Government structure of ICE CBGP CEDINT IMDEA SW CESVIMA CTB Solar housing Living labs Photovoltaic concentration CAIT Research Innovation 4

5. International perspective of the Campus Montegancedo (I) • Agreements with other entities: • To be able to create joint labs in ICT or BioTech • Participation in large international projects • i.e. FP7, ESA, etc. • Joint graduate programmes • Master level • Recruitment of researchers: • Specific programmes for attracting international talent supported through agreements with external entities 5

6. International perspective of the Campus Montegancedo (II) • Agreements with other entities: • At the international level: • Universities (Colorado, MIT, Toulouse) • Firms (USA, Brazil, China) • At the national level: • Strategic agreement with Spanish firms in Brazil (INDRA, Repsol) • Recruitment of researchers: • Post-docs programmes • 3 years contracts for young post-docs in research centres • International recruitment of senior researchers • Permanent positions (Isaac Peral -BBVA programme) 6

7. The role of the private sector • The creation of strategic alliances with the private sector is a basic element for the success of the CEI • Based on the strong relationship and mutual trust with companies • Movement from project-to-project cooperation to strategic alliances • Long-term partnership associated to the creation of joint labs or units • Some strategic agreements are under progress • IBM (high performance computing for computational biology) • INDRA (medical platforms) • Repsol (bio-fuels and simulation) • Santander (banking services of the future) • ... 7

8. CESVIMA Supercomputing Centre Magerit 2: 103 Tflops (IBM blades technology) 1st Spanish Supercomputer 8

9. IMDEA Software • Promoted by the Regional Government by using the legal structure of “foundation” (UPM participates in its governing board) • Research oriented to the generation of new software methods for the efficient development of high quality software products • Location: • New building • under construction • (temporary site in the • Faculty of Informatics) 9
