Technology and Innovation @ IFICMandate:

• Promote the technological and innovation transfer from our research activity at IFIC

• Organize and coordinate present on-going activities • Recognize IFIC technological potentials and produce useful documentation• Chair the process to define the future strategy on technological

developments at IFIC

Activities 2017 (starting October 2016):

• Map of capacities (not yet public)• Get in contact with groups at IFIC interested in developing technology

beyond their own research • Contact with companies and technological centres• Consolidate IFIC as partner with CONECTA (Coordinación Nacional

Española de la Ciencia y Tecnología de Aceleradores)• AVI (Agencia Valenciana de Innovación). IFIC proposal to be defined early

2018 (January)• Support IFIMED (Prof. J. Bernabeu)• Consolidate collaboration with CERN

Lines of research:

• The new architectures of GPU-type computers are being used more andmore in experiments, especially in problems related to physics analysis or inprocesses that need to be carried out very quickly.

• The Multicore processors have also managed to substitute a high percentageof the mono-core with very good results.

• Hadoop is consolidated as a software environment that is compatible withdistributed applications and the management of large amounts of data. Thefeatures it provides in the LHC experiments will mark the way forward withrespect to the use of relational database management systems that are moreconventional.

• Another progress is being made in the methodologies applied to physicsanalysis: the techniques from Machine Learning have gained more areas ofapplication.

T&I@IFIC:Summary

In summary:

• There is an important activity at IFIC in Innovation and Transference of Knowledge

• There is even a higher potential to be explored

• IFIC is “starting” to making an effort and getting organized in these matters

• This activity and people involved should also be recognized at IFIC (with all what that means)

• “AVI initiative” gives us a good opportunity to consolidate this effort
