Periodic Reporting for period 1 - WCE (Wroclaw Centre of Excellence)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2015-06-01 al 2016-05-31
Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto
The objective of the action is to establish Wroclaw Centre of Excellence (WCE), by a close collaboration of Wroclaw University of Technology with two German partners – University of Würzburg and Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology in Dresden, renowned science institutions. WCE is going to be an economically sustainable entity of research excellence, innovative technology and device development on the state-of-the-art level. A special focus will be put on nanophotonics and modern manufacturing technologies, synergy of which provides unique opportunities world-wide, e.g. for “smart” parts directly manufactured with embedded nanophotonic sensors.
The Wroclaw Centre of Excellence project is a response to European Commission call WIDESPREAD-1-2014: Teaming, of the call H2020-WIDESPREAD-2014. This project responds to the work program “Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation”, which aims to reduce internal research and innovation disparities within the European Union by supporting research and innovation activities and systems in low performing countries. The project addresses a specific challenge defined by the work program – namely, the presence of substantial disparities in the European Research and Innovation landscape.
Since last decade EC has observed increasing differences among Member States in terms of research and innovation performance. Among many reasons for those disparities lack of critical mass of science and insufficient number of scientific institutions on high level of excellence seemed to be the most urgent problem to be solved.
As a respond to those problems European Commission decided to start “Teaming for Excellence” competition. The aim of the call was to create high level Centre of Excellence in those countries which innovativeness level is not satisfactionary.
It was stated that by increasing number of Centres of Excellence with high scientific potential in those countries that has low factor of innovation may result in achieving slow but sustain innovative growth.
Moreover, spreading scientific excellence from more advanced countries to member states that struggle with low innovation of their economy may help those countries to overcome financial crisis that may happen in Europe. This will help those regions to become more competitive in national and international markets.
In the first phase of the competition beneficiaries in partnership with Partners of Excellence had to prepare high quality business plan for the new Centre of Excellence.
The financial sustainability of WCE, which should be achieved after first seven years of its operation, requires efficient acquisition of funds as well as commercialization of results. The last requires successful realization of research and development projects, with a strong focus on ideas having high potential for commercialization of the generated knowledge. In order to achieve that goals WCE can benefit from one of its most important competitive advantages, i.e. the cooperation with excellent German institutions – Fraunhofer IWS and Würzburg University, with the support of Wrocław University of Technology, one of the best Polish technical universities. Since the scientific expertise of WCE and its partners is complementary, many common projects involving one or more partnering institutions are foreseen.
Besides joint initiatives, WCE artners’ help can be also crucial in every stage of the projects’ preparation. They may both propose ideas and help in developing concepts proposed by WCE scientists. Their vast experience and contact networks offer opportunities for finding suitable collaboration for any endeavour and appropriate funding sources. They can also consult on the process of preparing the proposals for projects.
Finally, during the realisation stage, the partners offer their expertise for efficient management and administration of R&D projects and advise on the means of exploitation of its results. WCE will act not only as a research institution but also serve as a technology transfer centre. In this capacity it will realize actions to support the creation of spin-offs together with local industrial companies. It will be win-win circumstances for all the involved parties, especially that it is considered the spin-offs and the companies to have a guided access to the WCE infrastructure, and hence WCE will become a co-working space. Besides R&D, WCE will also participate in educational projects, most often accompanying the R&D activities. Partner participation for this group of projects will include primarily delegating MSc and PhD student but also common training programmes, suchas e.g. Erasmus + Strategic Partnerships.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)
Increasing scientific capabilities of a "Widening" Country (Poland) and enable it to engage in a strategic growth path pointing to long-term opportunities for economic development.
WCE-LST will focus on research areas being directly transformable into applications, and further into commercialization, where the development directions will be driven by the local industry and business organizations to be involved in the WCE-LST advisory boards. The Centre also aims at developing an atmosphere for innovation-based synergy between academic research and industry. All activities will be realized as a result of the extensive experience and joint efforts of the involved teams, as well as the German partners from the University of Würzburg and Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden. Such consortium offers a worldwide unique combination of expertise in photonics and manufacturing technologies, which will be exploited for the development of new classes of elements, devices and solutions in production processes, going beyond the state-of-the-art, with tremendous application potential and related market needs, as well as high relevance for modern society. In this way WCE-LST will increase scientific capabilities of regional and national research and industrial community and enable them to engage in a strategic growth path. This will result in growth of R&D operations and improvement of chances to receive funding in international competitions (including EU Framework Programmes).
According to the newest trends in the field, WCE-LST shall broaden the channels for commercialisation of public research by promoting two-way flows between industry and science, for example through public-private partnerships, joint research initiatives/centres, outward and inward licensing of IP by universities and public research institutions, and incentives for the mobility of entrepreneurial academics.
Allow the country (Poland) to improve its chances to seek competitive funding in international fora (including the EU Framework Programmes) through improved scientific capabilities
Technological development is the main focus of the WCE-LST. This development and the intensive support by the University of Würzburg and Fraunhofer IWS will additionally enhance the national and international position of the WCE-LST, and accelerate the Polish teams in the competition regarding the area of nanophotonics and advanced manufacturing in Europe. As additional benefit it is expected that the strong position of the WCE-LST will allow applying efficiently for funding from various instruments of Horizon 2020 Programme as well as from the respective national funding institutions, which will increase the innovation power of the WCE-LST even further.
Achieve a measurable and significant improvement in the research and innovation culture of the country (Poland) over the medium to long term.
To execute research projects WCE-LST will co-operate with various Polish research institutions as well as engage scientists. Their engagement into successful project teams working with methods developed on base of innovation and organizational culture adopted from Partners is going to encourage them to adopt and disseminate this culture, as measure of effectiveness and successful actions, in their own working environment. Dissemination of WCE-LST research results and co-operation with numerous domestic scientists are going to be foundations of spreading innovation culture.
The goal of the non-commercial part of the dissemination is to provide an access to the results generated by WCE-LST to the wide audience, while the commercial exploitation will focus mostly on providing profit to the WCE-LST. Overall, it will provide long-term sustainability of the project outputs and at the same time it will increase the WCE-LST public awareness. The important goal of the results dissemination will be also to increase the publicly available state-of-the-art knowledge, which in turn will enhance the national scientific potential of the community, especially in Lower Silesia region. The special emphasis will be put on the increase in the awareness of the role of science in development on economic and social levels, especially in Polish conditions. It corresponds directly with the policy of the Polish government, which indicates the science as the foundation for development of lasting innovative economy. The dissemination activities will be followed by engaging the target groups to provide feedback to adjust the WCE-LST operation to its needs.
Accruing benefits to the institutions from the more intensive research and innovation performers, in terms of access to new research avenues, creativity and the development of new approaches, as well as a source for increased mobility (inwards and outwards) of qualified scientists.
Partners, who are more intensive research and innovation performers will share their expertise and extensively transfer excellence with following measures:
participation in International Advisory Board,
enabling the access to the laboratory equipment,
executing joint R&D projects,
consulting on research strategy, commercialization and business related issues,
joint MSc and PhD theses,
training programs.
Partners will actively look for opportunities of joint research and development projects and promote the participation of WCE-LST in project consortia. The partner institutions will directly participate in the R&D activities conducted in WCE-LST. Joint executions of projects includes temporary inclusion of researchers from Partner institution to project team in WCE-LST as well as temporary inclusion of WCE-LST researchers into project team in Partner institution – this will support transfer of research and innovation culture to WCE-LST
Based on the experiences of partners and transfer of excellence from them WCE-LST will adapt and implement:
very successful and approved Fraunhofer model for Polish and East European market.
science management strategies enabling efficient use of researchers potential – identification and support for natural innovators, systematic help in preparation of grant applications.
WCE-LST will focus on research areas being directly transformable into applications, and further into commercialization, where the development directions will be driven by the local industry and business organizations to be involved in the WCE-LST advisory boards. The Centre also aims at developing an atmosphere for innovation-based synergy between academic research and industry.
