Description du projet
Former des chercheurs dans le domaine de la fabrication et des revêtements avancés
L’écart croissant en matière d’innovation entre les pays technologiquement avancés et les pays peu performants en matière de R&I, ainsi que les efforts déployés par des entités non européennes pour attirer des chercheurs européens qualifiés, constituent des défis pour le progrès économique durable de pays tels que la République tchèque, la Pologne et la Slovaquie. Le projet CLiCAM, financé par l’UE, entend aborder ces questions en formant des chercheurs européens talentueux, afin qu’ils deviennent des chefs de file. Dans le cadre du projet, des talents de l’Espace européen de la recherche (EER) assumeront des rôles de leadership en matière d’innovation au sein des organismes de recherche participants dans les pays peu performants en matière de R&I. L’objectif du projet consiste à créer un solide écosystème de recherche et d’innovation qui facilite le développement de technologies dans les domaines de la fabrication avancée, des matériaux avancés et des sciences de la vie.
Objectif
Too often, great research ideas as well as talented researchers from Europe are acquired by non-European players who turn them into impactful innovations whose economic benefits are realized outside the EU. In addition, the innovation divide between the widening countries and the other member states persists (patent applications per million inhabitants not reaching 15% of the EU benchmark). The problem of the inability to transform the potential of basic research into the development of commercially viable innovations thus becomes a serious obstacle for the sustainable economic development of countries such as the Czechia, Poland, and Slovakia.
In response, the CLiCAM project will cultivate participating ERA talents into leaders who will make innovation happen through intersectoral collaboration. The innovation leadership provided by ERA talents shall transform participating research organisations from widening countries into innovation beacons turning basic research into sustainable prosperity in fields of coatings and additive manufacturing. In doing so, the project will create an R&I ecosystem contributing to the development of relevant key enabling technologies across three domains critical for Europe’s technological sovereignty: advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, and life-science technologies.
The actions of the consortium will concern three pillars of innovation:
(i) people – cross-sector secondments and Innovation Leadership training,
ii) processes – reintegration actions and benchmarking initiative,
iii) infrastructure – two virtual test bed ecosystems for better use of existing research facilities.
The long-term impact will be to strengthen human capital base in R&I (qualified personnel for impactful innovation), initiate technology transfer activities (patent applications, licensing transactions, contractual research) and generate future R&D investments (intersectoral research projects, virtual test bed ecosystems, spin-offs).
