In-Kind Contributions: A Prosperous Model of Procurement for Large-scale Science Projects

2017

R. Amirikas, P. Ghosh
FAIR, Darmstadt, Germany

The number of research infrastructures which are being built with significant amount of In-Kind Contributions (IKCs) from partners and stakeholders is on the increase. One of the main advantages of the utilization of IKCs in big science projects is to enable numerous partners with technological and scientific know-how participate directly in such projects. Thus, IKCs promote capacity building in technology and knowledge transfer of these partners. However, management and execution of IKCs are particularly challenging. The 2nd In-Kind Contributions Workshop (IKCW 2015) was organized by the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR) with the aim of sharing experiences on the procurement and management of large-scale international science projects through IKCs. This paper focuses on the analysis of the issues pertaining to how to best implement and execute IKCs from the initial phase of assignment until full delivery for both accelerator and experiments. Discussions held during IKCW 2015 are used to highlight these points further. The goal of this paper is to present the reader with a synopsis of the challenges and opportunities faced in procurement through IKCs.

Technology Transfer and Research Projects

The funding scenario seems to improve based on the capability of a laboratory to generate technology that can be transferred to industry, in particular if the technology is of public interest. New research projects may benefit if the technology transfer is considered as an integral part of the project itself. The drawback could be that revenue generated by a successful technology transfer may give the impression that research projects only provide societal benefit by direct transfer through closed protocols. This paper provides an overview of different technology transfer projects worldwide and how different laboratories are dealing with the issue.

Technology Transfer to Industry at PSI's SwissFEL Project and a Joint PSI/Industry Initiative Beyond

H.-U. Klein, W. Diete
Advanced Accelerator Technologies AG, Villigen, Switzerland
H. Fitze, M. Frei-Hardt, T. Schmidt, G. Travaglini, A.F. Wrulich
PSI, Villigen PSI, Switzerland

For PSI's SwissFEL project several technical solutions were developed in close collaboration with industry employing technology Transfer (TT) from PSI. These involve, e.g., specific C-Band accelerator structures with high gradients and sophisticated manufacturing technology. Enhanced high Q RF pulse compressors allow the efficient utilization of RF power. Strong, small gap undulators allow to reach the desired 1A wavelength at a moderate electron beam energy of 5.8 GeV. Following these achievments PSI has developed and launched - together with specialized equipment companies - a joint initiative for a broader commercialization of PSI's accelerator and instrumentation technologies. Within the framework of the newly founded company Advanced Accelerator Technologies AG (AAT), located in the new PARK innovAARE next to PSI, business development and operation on the basis of licensed PSI IP is undertaken to serve the scientific and industrial markets worldwide. This talk will cover TT examples, the cooperation between PSI and industry, and the perspective for such advanced accelerator technology to be industrialized and to be used for other accelerator projects & industrial applications.
