  11. WP1: Coordination Progress: AMICI Partner and Industry Days (Task 1.2, INFN) The ‘AMICI Partner and Industry Days’ meeting took place in Padua, on April 18-19 2017. The goal of the meeting was to present the AMICI project to the participating companies, focusing their attention in particular on the Tasks and activities in which industry is going to play an important role, and to collect their comments, suggestions and expressions of interest in order to organize theirinvolvementin the most effective way. This meeting lead to the Definition of the Participation of Industry in AMICI. 1st Annual Meeting

  12. WP1: Coordination • Progress: AMICI Public Web site (Task 1.4, IFJ-PAN) • Diffusion of the AMICI Web site public website. • The “Technology Infrastructure” tab displays descriptions of the Technological Facilities located at European AMICI partner institutes and available to industry, including contact information. A search engine allows external potential users to quickly browse the list of Technical Platforms and to identify the most appropriate ones in accordance with their needs. • Communication includes dedicated pages on which future events are announced and recent scientific achievements or progress of AMICI activities are reported. • The "Industry Involvement" tab gives examples of successful collaborations between European Technological Facilities and industry. It also provides access to the ongoing calls for tenders, including those below the EU publication threshold not advertised in the EU platform. 1st Annual Meeting

  13. Technical Platforms available to Industry Main step :http://eu-amici.eu • Developing list and description of AMICI TFs 1st Annual Meeting

  14. WP1: Coordination • Perspectives: • Task 1.2 (INFN) remains active to monitor the participation of Industry to the ongoing WP4-WP5 Tasks through the working groups constituted in the aftermath of the AMICI Industry Days in Padova. • WP1 is committed to the organization of a European Forum on accelerators and SC magnets Technology Infrastructure, during the first semester of 2019, convening academia and industry in Brussels to present the work done in the different WPs and discuss the long-term strategy for the Technology Infrastructure. 1st Annual Meeting

  15. WP1 Milestones and Deliverables 1st Annual Meeting

  16. WP2: Strategy Accelerators for America’s Future, DoE Report, 2010 The Strategy-related activities aim at providing strategic insights into opportunities and needs of future basic research and applications, thus steering and sustaining the activity of the Technology Infrastructure • This will be achieved by: • updating the Key Technological Areas (KTA) of accelerator and superconducting magnet science and technology, • collecting the scientific roadmaps Research Infrastructures in Europe (ESFRI) and in the global landscape, • assessing the workload, the capabilities and, when possible, the priorities of the Technology Infrastructure in the different KTAs. 1st Annual Meeting

  17. WP2: Strategy • Progress • A methodology to delineate the Technology Roadmap has been proposed, allowing the identification of Key Technologies from the Scientific and Innovation Roadmaps. Its implementation started with Task 2.1 (CNRS) and Task 2.2 (CEA). • The current boundary conditions, status and project-wise occupancy of the individual AMICI Technological Facilities regarding their operating and economical models, and sustainability challenges have been identified by Task 2.3 (UU). 1st Annual Meeting

  18. WP2: Strategy • Perspectives: • Elaborate and explain the Technological Roadmap for Accelerators and SC Magnets • Spell out the needs for Technical Platform evolution or creation • Formulation propositions for the long term sustainability of the Technological Facilities. 1st Annual Meeting

  19. WP2 Milestones and Deliverables The recentprogresstowardsMilestone MS9 willbereported by WP2: MS9 fulfilled on M14 1st Annual Meeting

  20. WP3: Cooperation AAA in Japan The Cooperation-related activities will study the conditions of the coordination of the Technology Infrastructurein order to harmonise its operation and increase its efficiency, and to establish a co-innovation platform with industry. • These investigations will be performed by: • defining the eligibility criteria for the participation/association to the Technology Infrastructure, • developing a coordination model for the use of eligible TFs and industries • supporting the integration into local, regional and global innovation systems, • identifying synergies, complementarities and duplication. 1st Annual Meeting

  21. WP3: Cooperation • Progress: Eligibility Criteria (Task 3.1, CEA) • The detailed description of the AMICI Technological Facilities has been completed and disseminated. • The core AMICI group believes that the existence of the Technology Infrastructure must be secured and its future capacity reinforced by providing it with an organic constitution allowing, at some level, for • organized relationships, • dynamical planning, • strategy coordination. • A stronger organization will also make it possible to diversify further its activity towards innovation by fostering and hosting industrial developments. 1st Annual Meeting

  22. WP3: Cooperation If successful, such a Technology Infrastructure body would attract inevitably and rightfully other European partners active in the field of accelerators and superconducting magnets. Hence, the question of their eligibility as new members of the Technology Infrastructure without losing efficacy and direction must be decided. The eligibility key principle is therefore the capacity and the willingness of the new Member to integrate itself in an organization of Technological Facilities that coordinate their efforts and their development towards the construction of future research infrastructures, and that are willing to provide access to their technical platforms (TP) to other partners and to industries. 1st Annual Meeting

  23. WP3: Cooperation • Several criteria can be used to assess this principle: • the TF record and future plans of contributions to the construction of Research Infrastructures, in collaboration with the existing TI, • the TF record and future plans of collaboration with industry, • the accessibility of the Technological Facility to partner and industry collaborators, • the operability of the platforms in terms of financial and human resources, • the adaptability and versatility of the Technological Facility to evolving technical needs. • Another crucial aspect is the capability of the new Member to reinforce the technical spread and the expertise of the existing Technology Infrastructure and hence contribute to more efficient sharing of efforts at the European level. This can be assessed through the following criteria • the complementarity of the Technological Facility within the TI • the strength of personnel and technical platforms in some critical areas 1st Annual Meeting

  24. WP3: Cooperation • Perspectives: • Networking the TI: formulate the Terms of Association for university research units and industrial companies for benefiting from the work of the Technology Infrastructure core group, will be sought and decided in a second stage. • Lay down the model of Cooperation Charter between the Members of the future ‘Technology Infrastructure Accelerator and Magnet Organization’. 1st Annual Meeting

  25. WP3 Milestones and Deliverables The recentprogresstowardsMilestone MS12 willbereported by WP3: MS12 fulfilled on M14 1st Annual Meeting

  26. WP4 Innovation The Innovation-related activities aim at transferring the knowledge and know-how of research laboratories to industry and creating new products and new applications of direct benefit to society. For that purpose, Industry will access a pool of technical platforms made available by European Research Institutes such as test beam facilities, cryogenics, magnet and RF facilities and test benches, laboratories for material analysis and vacuum technology, for chemistry and surface characterization, for beam electronics and instrumentation, clean rooms and assembly halls including the equipment and the associated human expertise. 1st Annual Meeting

  27. WP4: Innovation Perspectives: Market Surveys (Task 4.1, STFC and Task 4.2, CEA) Surveys are being launched to deliver reports identifying specific domains of societal applications and European commercial organisations that have the current capability, and future potential, to innovate and develop solutions in the fields of mature Accelerator technologies and Superconducting Magnet technologies. In addition the survey will provide insight into the domains of societal applications and potential market sizes beyond Research Infrastructures, to complement WP2 findings. Unabridged versions from these Market Surveys are expected in March 2019 1st Annual Meeting

  28. WP4: Innovation Perspectives: Good practices and barriersto effective engagement, between Industry and the Technology Infrastructure (Task 4.3, INFN) A survey is being launched towards a large set of European Companies to investigate these questions. The ILO’s portfolio will be interrogated at the Big Science Business Forum in Copenhagen next week, together with possible incentives to participate in the survey. A unabridged version from this Survey is expected in March 2019 1st Annual Meeting

  29. WP4 Milestones and Deliverables 1st Annual Meeting

  30. WP5 Industrialization The Industrialization-related activities aim at keeping industry at the forefront of the international competition, in terms of technology, quality and costs, in view of the construction of future scientific research instruments in Europe and elsewhere. (Courtesy A. Spaniol) This will be achieved by fostering collaboration initiatives and opportunities between Industry and the TI that include: research and development of key technology prototypes at high Technology Readiness Level, test and verification of industrial products, professional training and apprenticeship, certification studies and training (e.g. vacuum, cleanliness, welding, etc.), harmonization and standardization studies (e.g. cryogenics, material, etc.). 1st Annual Meeting

  31. Co-Innovation @ Technology Infrastructure • Progress: WP5.1: Training (CEA) and Prototyping (INFN) • Industry may be reluctant to operate on TI platforms: we have to understand their reasons and offer enticements, such as: • Cutting edge and qualified equipment • Full product integration, from R&D to verification • Scientific and Technical expertise (human factor) • Training, communicating, stimulating (human factor) • Coordination within TI (organic factor) • Networking with Universities and Technical Schools (node factor) 1st Annual Meeting

  32. WP 5: Industrialization • Opportunities for Co-Innovation activities depend on the availability of all the above services, regarding: • access, • operating costs, • maintenance, • intellectual property • personnel availability • competition rules (SBIR vs. PCP attractiveness) • No opportunities should be missed: if one of these parameters is missing or failing at some Technological Facility, or because other impediments occurred during the negotiations with the Institute, the usage of other platforms should be proposed. • This is the reason why the Technology Infrastructure capacity should be reinforced by providing it with an organic constitution allowing, at some level, for organized relationships, dynamical planning and strategy coordination (cf. AMICI WP3). 1st Annual Meeting

  33. WP5: Industrialization • Considerations regarding co-innovation spinoff: • The size of the market is a key parameter (water purification, cargo scanning, medical treatment), is orders of magnitude larger than that allowed by the construction of new Research Infrastructure (RI). • However, industrialization of new Research Infrastructures is key to accessing to medium TRL’s, and increase their readiness. • For Commercial Innovation based on RI components (magnetic, RF, or instrumentation devices, etc…), industry wishes to enter into the design and prototyping phases products, as part of technology transfer, to develop in-house expertise. • Subsidiarity principle: down to which TRL should Institutes provide ‘build on specifications’ rather that ‘build to print’ ? 1st Annual Meeting

  34. Co-Innovation @ Technology Infrastructure • Progress: Cryogenic Safety Procedures(Task 5.3, KIT) • Cryogenics is a ‘potential’ key technology given: • the majority of Accelerator and Magnet projects based on Superconductivity • the important cryogenics capacities within the AMICI Technological Facilities • the predominance and the present successes of European firms • the challenges in Helium supply and the need for small portable HTC refrigeration • The expert panel brought by Task 5.3 to AMICI is therefore crucial for understanding the future trends. 1st Annual Meeting

  35. WP5 Milestones and Deliverables 1st Annual Meeting

  36. 2020: post-AMICI Horizon AMICI is only a first step towards a European Technology Infrastructure Organization AMICI partners are working on defining its statuses and functioning and networking rules. This European Technology Infrastructure Organization will not be restricted to the current AMICI partners. The case for European TI Organization will require the understanding and the support from the EC and from Industry 1st Annual Meeting
