Innovation in Practice - Processes and Productivity
Park InnovAare, Villigen, Switzerland
7th March 2017
INNOVATION in PRACTICE is the platform for the practice-oriented exchange of ideas on all aspects of innovation and technology management. In the form of one- or multi-part sessions, the format facilitates an in-depth discussion of specific issues, for example from the areas of R&D strategy, product development, technology transfer and IP management. The format is designed to address R&D leaders from industry as well as representatives from scientific research who want to cultivate the dialogue on equal footing.
In the session 2/3 of 'Innovation in practice' focused on 'Processes and Productivity', Dr. Fabia Gozzo (ESS) and Dr. Arnaud Grandeury (Novartis Pharma AG) presented a practical example of a close collaboration, demonstrating that innovation is not a uniquely internal process and often emerges from joint projects.

Baltic TRAM opening conference
DESY, Hamburg, Germany
26th October 2016
Investments in research and innovative capacity provide an opportunity for boosting competitiveness and growth in Europe. Large-scale research infrastructures offer huge potential in testing state-of-the-art solutions. But how do we secure efficient and balanced access to these facilities? This conference described the situation, highlighted some new ideas and projects in Europe and discussed what structures are needed for better research-industry cooperation, looking at how academia can support companies in their innovation processes.
The contribution of spin-off companies which act as a bridge between industry and large scale facilities was described by Excelsus Structural Solutions in the talk: ‘Excelsus Structural Solutions as an Intermediary between Industry and Advanced Analytical Services based at Large Facilities'. Part of this presentation is available for download.

Powder Diffraction School - Modern Synchrotron Methods
Villigen PSI, Switzerland
22-26 August 2016
The powder diffraction school 2016 at PSI was organized as a satellite meeting of the european crystallographic conference in Basel. The school, with an updated in-depth programme, gave a broad overview of all the modern possibilities using synchrotron radiation, starting with a general theoretical introduction to the various methods and applications. Hands-on practicals with selected synchrotron XRPD experiments and exhaustive analysis of the collected data were the central part of the school and provided the student with a solid fundamental understanding of these essential and versatile experimental techniques.
Drs. Fabia Gozzo and Ruggero Frison were invited as lecturers, Excelsus Structural Solutions sponsored the event.
