First Tuesday@CERN: Industrial partnership and innovation management at European research laboratories

On Wednesday 19 March, CERN will host for the second time the 'First Tuesday Geneva' events for entrepreneurs, investors and all those interested in new technologies. The event is organised by the non-profit group Rezonance. The theme of this "First Tuesday@CERN" is familiar to CERN, as it concerns new trends of industrial partnership and innovation management at European research laboratories. As major sources of innovative technologies, large laboratories such as CERN, ESA, EMBL or ESRF have adopted over the past few years new strategies in the areas of industrial partnership and technological
spin-offs.

Speakers include:

- Pierre Brisson, Head of Technology Transfer and Promotion Office, ESA : "The European Space Incubator at ESA"
- Gabor Lamm, Managing Director EMBL Enterprise Management Technology Transfer : "EMBL Enterprise Management: Innovation Works"
- Edward Mitchell, Coordinator of the PSB, ESRF : "The Partnership for Structural Biology"
- Wolfgang von Rüden, Leader of Information Technology Division, CERN : "The CERN Openlab for DataGrid applications"

Due to seating limitations, those interested should register for this event at http://www.rezonance.ch/ before Tuesday 18 March, 12:00.
