The CERN Knowledge Transfer group provides a service to:
- Industry: whether you work in a large company, an SME or a start-up, we can help you incorporate CERN technology or know-how into your business.
- The CERN Community: we help you make the most of the latest technology that you have developed.
- Academic partners in high-energy physics and other fields: we help you identify solutions from CERN technology for use in your projects.
Our Activities and Services
CERN actively invests in many activities to accelerate the innovation process. The CERN Knowledge Transfer group provides advice, support, training, networks and infrastructure to ease the transfer of CERN's know-how to industry and eventually to society. These activities are all fundamentally based on CERN's Open Innovation strategy, and reach out to CERN personnel, industry, entrepreneurship and research collaborators.
Knowledge Transfer is a contact sport. CERN engages with International Organisations, participates in European Commission co-funded projects and KT networks.
