  1. OPEN ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURES IN SUPPORT OF INNOVATION Aarhus, 2012 Dr. Paula Queipo

  2. INTRODUCTION • It is necessary to maintain and develop the capability to create and exploit new technologies, products and services in the context of global competition • Finding effective solutions to the innovation challenges will sometimes require competences and infrastructure that you won’t necessarily have in-house • Future Knowledge-Based nanomaterialswillcriticallydependuponmaterialscharacterization methods, from common lab techniques to dedicated large-scale facilities: support facilities and modeling capabilities are needed for the relevant industrial R&D (GENNESYS study,2009). • Driversfor such infrastructures: product complexity, risk of financial engagement, market entry,  to be able to integrate various technologies and pool together different competences… • Infrastructures are expensive. Weneedto know the resources that are available within Europe and that can help us further developing our research, first steps through market, …

  3. INFRASTRUCTURES • Infrastructures can be single sited, distributed or virtual • They range in size and scope for major centers to smaller facilities located in research or technology centers • They should apply an “open access” policy , being open to interested stakeholders • Infrastructures supported by projects: • Euminafab, Qnano, others… • Infrastructures, a new service form some companies: • PhilippsInnovationservices • Cooperation between countries • INL • A complete place for incubating business • Madrid Science Park

  4. EUMINAfab: Gateway to micro nano fabrication • European research infrastructure for micro-nano fabrication of functional structures and devices out of a knowledge-based multimaterials’ repertoire • Scope of the project: • funding open access to high end technologies in nano and micro structuring • replication and characterization is offered to external users from European member and associated states. Researchers from academic or industrial organizations are eligible to benefit from the services. Samples can also be sent.

  6. A pan-European Infrastructure for Quality in NMs Safety Testing • Support the development and implementation of best practice and high quality researchinto the interactions of nanomaterials with living systems; • Promote nanomaterials characterisationin situ as basis for reproducible nanosafety assessment; • Support researchers to fully characterise their own nanomaterials, before, during and after exposure to living systems, as part of their on-going research. Networking Activities Transnational Access Joint Research Activities (JRA) Grant agreement n°: SP4-Capacities-2010-262163 Development of tools and Protocols for nanosafety assessment Training modules and Best practice for nanosafety assessment Funded access to 15 European Nano-characterisation sites

  7. Transnational Access and sites Funded physical access to 15 of the major nanomaterials processing and characterisation facilities in Europe (www.qnano-ri.eu/access) International travel, accommodation, living costs and consumable costs for the duration of your trip funded Visits fully supported with the technical expertise in the institute of equipment being accessed Average visit ~ 5-10 working days Applications reviewed by international panel of experts 2nd Transnational access Call Deadline: 31st July 2012 6-monthly calls 2012-2014

  19. CONCLUSIONS • Infrastructures play an key role in the advance of knowledge and technology, facilitating technology transfer and innovation • They are in a pivotal position in the science to business path. They are a useful instruments to help looking for solutions to many of the problems society is facing today as the offer unique and essential services to users and adapt technologies to their needs • Europe has a large number of centers with different kind of infrastructures/ specialisation • NETWORKING: It is necessary to establish partnership between research laboratories, universities, industry and the European infrastructures. Moreover, links between all KETs and smart specialisation are necessary. Distinguishing the purpose of such alliances as virtual/real infra is important in providing a strong perspective to a networked infrastructure future
