Osuti partners as LAPP, LPSC and SBT have a long tradition of industrial collaborations with regional, national and international partners. These laboratories are already involved on various fields of industrial collaborations which are the consequences of dissemination of the present knowhow of the laboratories. We can quote for the:
Industrial partners :
New technologies for superconductive cavities , cryogenics and accelerator techniques : Air Liquide, Thalès, SDMS, IRELEC, Pantechnik
Rapid analogical electronics : PSI electronics, TRIXELL, ST Microelectronics
New electronics and detectors for medical imaging: DOSISOFT, MEDASYS, AS2I…
new analyzing and machining devices for nanotechnology using ion sources : Orsay Physics
new machine for industrial treatment of the surface : BODYCOTE
low radioactivity characterization of material : CYRUS
high power RF solid state amplifier : THALES, SAIREM
Laboratory valorization supervisor and regional incubation structure : Floralis, Gravit, Grain, CEA valorisation, and future SATT
Technical centres, clusters and association : CTDEC, CETIM, Plastipolis, Thesame, Arve Industries and Mind
The work packages of the OSUTI LABEX will drastically upgrade the relationship between fundamental research and economic domains for next generations of such applications. As a consequence, the consortium identified 5 different topics that could be interesting for the socio-economic environment:
OSUTI proposes the following action program to support its objectives:
Action 1: To maintain closed contacts with the valorization structures, the clusters and technical centres
Action 2 : To favour the research collaboration agreements with the industrials, including a licence strategy
Action 3: To assure transfers to industry though common projects with industrial partners (co-financed thesis and fix term contracts).
Action 4: To identify new partners threw the participation to the international conferences, industrial exhibitions, and the participation to innovation fairs.
Action 5: To Deposit patents in the concerned fields.
Action 6: To support the design and the realization of prototypes dedicated to industrial purpose in link with the topics identified. Osuti will develop 3 years programs oriented for common prototype definitions
Action 7: To develop technical services involved inside the different work packages, mainly for the particle detection, electronics and ion beam production and simulation.
5.5.Pull effect
(2 pages maximum)
The pull effect of the LABEX will be realized under 2 forms:
An internal pull effectfor the partners, via the LABEX, to become the "hard core" of the research projects in the field of the particle physics already priority axis of the scientific development of establishments supervision. The LABEX will federate an European pole for the subatomic physics and cosmology to affirm the euopean excellence on the international scene by strengthening the collaborations between Grenoble, Annecy and the Geneve (CERN). So, the LABEX will contribute:
To become the catalyst and federative element for the research in particular for physics of the neutrino where Osuti project which to create the French pole in this discipline
To pool risks and costs: this Labex is an opportunity to share the risks linked to the necessity to lift technological barriers, in parallel with a multiparty financial effort, will stimulate regional and national innovation
To save time: the exchange and sharing of technology and expertise within a single entity will allow faster access to innovations.
To save costs: the pooling of resources will maintain a capacity to investigate and experiment with lower risk new researches and innovations. But each structure separately could take on its own.
A greater likelihood of success for more ambitious projects: the linking of players throughout the value chain will allow a knowledge crossing of technical issues. This increased knowledge of the various constraints will reduce the risk of project failure.
A pooling of complementary actors for technology transfer: the Labex Valorization Unit structure will allow matching easier academic teams between them and link with industry. For these players it will be possible to access to a wider range of equipment and high-level skills.
A pooling of complementary actors for education: the Labex Education Unit structure will allow improving the efficiency of the education policy by coordinating the different initiatives of the partners and disposing of a wider range of professors and premises.
An external pull effect which will be benefit to the national and international research centres working in the field of particles physics and related disciplines, the expertises and the know-how which will have been developed within the framework of the LABEX. This project will be also profitable for socio-economical actors. Labex will contribute to:
A gain of territorial cohesion: the success of research and innovation projects is based on iterative process between academic research, R&D, marketing, production. It is becoming increasingly necessary to maintain a physical proximity between these different functions. Osuti will be also profitable for education system and companies (sub-contractor or big companies
A strengthening of the sector: OSUTI will consolidate in short term the academic ecosystem, and strengthen in the long-term the industrial base, with direct impact on job creation and increased industrial investment in the region Rhône-Alpes. HoMe will be a practical tool for implementing the strategy of the PRES Université de Grenoble. The increase of the number of innovation projects that can be conducted through OSUTI will promote exchanges between actors. A virtuous cycle will therefore be in place. This strengthening of the sector will also be done through the close localization of training actors within OSUTI, thereby attracting students to careers in existing and new trades.
