General Assembly Meeting

WP6: Collaboration, Communication and Dissemination

Ute Gunsenheimer, ESS | WP Co-leader for Tasks 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 Juliette Forneris, DTI | WP Co-leader for Task 6.4

Overview of WP6

Objectives: Strengthen the community building between members of the supply chain and stakeholders by gaining future users’ trust from science and industry. Raise awareness for ESS as the role model for managing large-scale IKC. Support the exchange of best practice among RIs which are built with a significant amount of IKC.

Task 6.1 Collaboration building and outreach Gain future users’ trust by identifying relevant target groups, analysing their needs and expectations, and

• rganizing tailored networking

and outreach activities. Task 6.2 Enlargement of membership Establish an approved systematic process for engaging with potential new partners, and then apply that process to attract new members. Task 6.3 Strengthening the ILO Network Expand the ILO Network into a trans-national innovation mediating entity, and facilitate the formation of trans-national industry-led consortia. Task 6.4 Communication and dissemination of results Internally and externally communicate progress on the project and on ESS, and to achieve a broad and audience- specific dissemination of information.

C) Industrial Focus Groups and Interviews

4 focus groups More than 10 one-to-one interviews Results to be disseminated in the form

• f a report across BrightnESS and the

neutron scattering community.

Needs of Industrial Users

• Info about the benefits of neutron research, and the complementarity of

neutron scattering techniques with X-rays and other methods

Communication dedicated to industry

• Preference for robust and standard beam lines
• Large RIs seen mainly as a tool for optimisation rather than development of new

products

Medium and small-sized facilities

• Administrative procedures need to meet the timescale and needs of companies

Effective and standardized access policies

• Dedicated point-of-contact at RI, possibly an instrument scientists, to assist with

technical issues, data analysis and logistics

Technical support and infrastructure

• Interest in online and in-situ training courses along with hands-on training

provided by the instrument scientists during experiments

Dedicated training

Promoting the industrial use of neutrons by effectively disseminating the SINE2020 call for free beam time at RIs

• The first results of the campaign led to a Swedish

company being awarded beam time for a feasibility study at ILL (Grenoble, France), scheduled for November 2016.

• A second company, assisted by SINE2020 experts,

and facilitated by BrightnESS officers, will conduct a feasibility study using X-Rays.

• The two companies became aware of this R&D
• pportunity during an Industry Focus Group
• rganizes by BrightnESS as part of its Target Groups
