Technology Transfer
Annual meeting of the Hellenic society for the
study of High Energy Physics HEP2005,
Thessaloniki, Greece, April 21-24, 2005

• Need of collaboration between
• CERN Hellenic HEP community

2
The challenge

• Demonstrate that HEP
• Contributes significantly for the development of
  Greek industry.
• May finance part of its research activities
  through the TT activities.
• Contributes to the economic improvement of the
  country.
• Brings innovation that contribute for the
  improvement of the quality of life of people.
• Creates new employment for young scientists.

3
Actual situation

• M. Barone is officially assigned as the National
  Technology Transfer Officer (NTTO) that liaise
  with CERN (in addition to his mission as ILO)
• A memorandum agreement must be signed for TT
  between CERN and Greece
• There is need of creating a communication channel
  between the TT office that liaise with CERN and
  each research institute/University in Greece
  through the HEP institute.
• It is impossible for one person to coordinate the
  TT activities over all HEP in Greece there is
  need of help from each local institute

4
Proposal

• As a starting point one person from each
  institute must be assigned the responsibility,
  beside its main activities, to be the liaison
  between the University and M. Barone in order to
• Create a valid communication channel between the
  CERN TT office and the HEP institutes in Greece
  with the aim to
• Define a strategy and identify all the existing
  organizations at national level that might be
  helpful in this process.
• Create awareness about TT and its benefits.
• Start creating relations with potential
  industrial partners willing to use innovative
  technologies developed either at CERN or the
  Hellenic HEP institutes.
• Eventually, create special projects that might
  include all three parties for further
  developments in the context of a partnership
  agreement.

Governments should support effective strategies
for the dissemination of information on Science
and Technology Both governments and scientists
should promote the application of scientific
knowledge into tangible benefits for the Society
