  1. Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry Piero G. Maranesi Università degli Studi di Milano Dept. of Physics – Electronic Section

  2. Summary • Peculiarities of the Electronic Physicist figure; its education and related research in the Department • 3 Examples of successful cooperation with Industries • A future with lights and shadows • Steps forward Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry

  3. Electronics in the Department of Physics • Electronics for Nuclear Physics in the Low and in the High Energy Fields and related to Accelerators and Superconductivity • Power Electronics: • HF Converters for Space and Ground Applications • Modeling and Development of CAD tools for switching networks • Activities in the local INFN Section and in the Departments of Information Science and Digital Communication Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry

  4. The Electronic Physicist Figure • 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 • Aerospace, Biomedical, Industrial Electronics, Instrumentation and Control, Power Processing, Digital Systems, Electron Devices Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry

  5. 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. Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry

  6. Collaboration for a long time • Nuclear detectors Signal Processing • Data Acquisition systems • Power conditioning for on-board satellites Success cases in the collaboration between University and Industry
