LEAPS-INNOV has reached grant agreement process

19 November, 2020 by Cristina Pereira

LEAPS is delighted to announce that its project proposal “LEAPS-INNOV” has reached the grant agreement process!

The LEAPS pilot to foster open innovation for accelerator-based light sources in Europe under the H2020 Call INFRAINNOV-04-2020: Innovation Pilots for Research Infrastructures, A Research and Innovation Action (RIA) will start in aparil 2021 and run for four years with a budget of 10 million EUR.

I am excited that LEAPS-INNOV not only brings together all LEAPS partners, but also starts to form much closer relations to industrial partners, which are of major importance for such a technology-driven consortium, says Elke Plönjes (DESY), Scientific Coordinator of the proposal.

In the context of open innovation, the LEAPS-INNOV pilot project focusses on the implementation of new strategies and activities for long-term partnerships between industry and the European light sources, synchrotrons and free-electron lasers, with their tens of thousands of users. It will contribute to solving key technological challenges for over 50 facilities in Europe and worldwide. LEAPS-INNOV aspires to strengthen highly specialised European companies, predominantly SMEs, for the market of light sources worldwide. LEAPS-INNOV will kick-start the implementation of the LEAPS Technology Roadmap and, at the same time, will foster a partnership with European industry through open innovation by offering joint technological developments and advanced research capabilities with LEAPS members for industry as collaborator, supplier and user. A number of different approaches and actions for partnership with industry will be undertaken and accessed, with the goal of accumulating a strategy for long-term industry engagement for LEAPS on a European level.

LEAPS-INNOV will foster Innovation through involvement by more than 50 companies

LEAPS endorse the Manifesto for EU COVID-19 research

22 September, 2020 by Cristina Pereira

“Endorsing this manifesto for Covid-19 research is a natural step, given that many of the LEAPS members have been instrumental in research about the virus since the start of the outbreak. Making the results of the research broadly available as soon as possible is vital to ensure a fast and safe route to developing a vaccine and better treatments”, says Caterina Biscari, Chair of LEAPS and Director of ALBA Synchrotron.
