Description
This lecture will propose a different angle of approach to radiation damage and protection, stepping back from a purely academic/technical perspective to provide a broader picture highlighting the opportunities that this challenging and multidisciplinary domain can generate. Working at the forefront of technology to develop solutions capable of withstanding the harshest environments can generate a competitive advantage with significant commercial and societal impact. A variety of applications requiring solutions with similar requirements in terms of radiation tolerance can benefit from the early identification and exploitation of possible synergies and the choice of an adequate innovation management strategy.
We will start with a general introduction to innovation management concepts applicable to the field of radiation environments, including an historical case study inspired by the school theme and location. CERN’s knowledge transfer model based on an application driven approach will be described and a selection of examples will be discussed, with special focus on aerospace applications and CELESTA mission.
