3 Introduction STW Achieving knowledge transfer between science and technical users - Users committee - STW and its grants - Transfer of Knowledge and IP policy - Publicity - Innovation?

4 Technology Foundation STW Provides government funding (invest. 2014: 101 M ) Finances research at universities and some selected knowledge institutes Focuses on applied sciences in NL Reduce sound level of products klapschaats Duchenne patients

5 Bringing parties together Each STW project is monitored by a User Committee (UC) UC meeting participants: applicant(s) users (minimum is 4 of which 50% companies) personnel temporarily appointed to the project program officer STW User committees in action

(minimum is 4 of which 50% companies) personnel temporarily

6 Effort Science Technology University S T W Industrie Fundamental Scientific Research Technical Research Product Development

7 Open Technology Programme 20% STW budget Open competition between projects up to k 750, new technology projects Co-funding obligatory > k 500 Open call all year

8 Open Technology Programme It started at 2005with walking biped Meta. In 2012 TUDelft researcher Daniël Karssen made running biped Phides. Aim is to understand principles of human walking to develop new rehabilitation devices.

9 Perspectief programme for the Topsectors 35% STW budget Open competition between focussed technology programs, 2-4 M, (6-8 projects). Consortium universities (3) and companies (5) Co-funding 15% cash, 30% total (in kind + cash) 1 call a year

10 Perspectief programme for the Topsectors imit Instruments for minimally invasive techniques Goal: multi-funtional steerable catheters and needles to diagnose and treat all-in one intervention. Developed in a consortium of universities, hospitals and companies.

11 Partnership 17% STW budget Theme by company, STW organises open call STW M industrial partner(s) M 1.5

12 Partnership STW en Philips Electronics Partnership Advanced Sustainable Lighting Solutions develops innovative, efficient LED-lighting by finding new materials, improving efficiency and optimize sustainable production.

13 Demonstrator 1% STW budget For results out of STW or RAAK research, max k 150 HBO, proof of concept

14 Demonstrator Dr. Dirk Janssen, Academie voor Digital Entertainment, Breda. Bodysensors working together with computer games.

15 Valorisation Grant 6% STW budget New high-tech start-ups, grant in 2 phases 2 rounds a year No longer exists.

16 Valorisation Grant SECOM: a combined electron- and light microscope for faster, better images

17 Take-off Since September 2014 Two phases: Feasibility studies (k 40) Early phase trajectories (loan k ) Also carried out by Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO) en Minsterie van Economische Zaken (EZ)

50-250) Also carried out by Rijksdienst voor

18 Talent Scheme (V.I.) 11% STW budget Personal grants: Veni, Vidi, Vici for talented researchers. 1 round a year

19 Talent Scheme (V.I.) Sarthak Misra, UTwente, runs a Veni project Robotically steering needles using biomechanical models and ultrasound-guided control. It is about MIS and putting the needles in the right place.

Proof-of-principle / Proof-of-concept Guidelines -

21 Outcome of STW-projects Well-educated researchers Scientific output / Know how (publications, theses) Proof-of-principle / Proof-of-concept Guidelines - policy Prototype Production Sales Follow-up investments Patents

22 Knowledge transfer Two strategies depending on the outcome and sector 1. Protect the knowledge To enable technology transfer / to protect the interests of the companies involved the knowledge developed is strictly confidential File a patent / know how agreement 2. Spread the news Workshop with all stakeholders Researcher / user presentations Open source software Non-scientific publications

23 Publicity is important For example: de Volkskrant 13 October 2012 Adding activated coal to contaminated sediments
