1 A successful publicprivate partnership Alberto Di Meglio CERN openlab Head

2 CERN openlab in a nutshell A science industry partnership to drive R&D and innovation with over a decade of success Evaluate state-of-the-art technologies in a challenging environment and improve them Test in a research environment today what will be used in many business sectors tomorrow Train next generation of engineers/employees Disseminate results and outreach to new audiences

3 The history of openlab II 2006 III 2009 IV 2012 V 2015 Set-up 2001 I 2003 CERN openlab Board of Sponsor 2013

4 CERN requirements push the limit Produce advanced products and services Apply new techniques and technologies Test prototypes in CERN environment Joint development in rapid cycles A public-private partnership between the research community and industry Alberto Di Meglio CERN openlab

6 Information Technology Research Areas Data acquisition and filtering Computing platforms, data analysis, simulation Data storage and long-term data preservation Compute provisioning (cloud) Networks Medical applications Data analytics

7 Who we have talked to New partners

8 A Solid Educational Program At CERN Regular workshops Special workshops and lectures Requirements workshops Training courses on hardware platforms, Parallel programming, etc. Outside the lab: CERN School of Computing in Portugal (August 2014) Thematic CSC in Split (June 2014) Summer student program The ICE-DIP project Programs is highly structured, with different tiers and specializations students, young researchers, professional researchers and experts - including summer student lectures as well as numerous invited talks at CERN

9 Summer Student Program Summer student program applicants 22 selected candidates 13 lectures (including new lectures from external labs) A new lightning talks session 22 technical reports Summer student program applicants 23 selected candidates Lectures and visits program in collaboration with, other Labs/Institutes and companies

10 Started February 2013 Recruited 5 fellows Model can be extended to other areas (e.g. data analytics)

11 Annual CERN openlab Event Alberto Di Meglio CERN openlab High-visibility public event to promote the activities and results of CERN openlab and its projects Press can be invited and the event broadcasted CERN Capacity ~200 Each member is given visibility and seats according to their membership level Members can invite their partners/customers Visits to CERN installations (LHC etc.) can be organised for participants

12 Communication Project activities and results are disseminated to a wide audience Subject to agreement between all the participating members that it does not compromise legitimate academic or commercial interests Press releases (must not imply endorsement of products by research labs etc.) Visibility and presence of member companies on the website is proportional to membership level
