DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Díaz Alonso Javier (Seven Solutions S.L)\nSeven Sol
 utions as an Industry for Science reliable partner: Development\, design\,
  manufacturing\, test and support.\nSeven Solutions has been working in th
 e last years for different scientific facilities and institutions\, for in
 stance through CERN\, for different particle accelerator electronics (timi
 ng and control)\, through GSI for FAIR and through IAA for different aeros
 pace projects. We have collaborated in developing and customizing differen
 t electronics\, gateware (for FPGA based platforms) and low level software
 \, for different labs for specific purpose applications. We have also coll
 aborated in the development of a cutting edge timing technology (White Rab
 bit\, http://www.sevensols.com/whiterabbitsolution/) which allows subnanos
 econd reliable synchronization at a network of up to 2000 nodes and 10 Kms
  distances. It allows fine synchronization\, deterministic and reliable co
 mmunication (with well defined maximum latency which is important for cont
 rol distributed instrumentation facilities). This technology was successfu
 lly used in the final Neutrinos experiments (between Gran Sasso and CERN) 
 and is now being considered in other international projects and facilities
  (such as FAIR at GSI).\nThe different collaborations in which we have par
 ticipated have been articulated through research projects in which we have
  been integrated as an industrial partner (subcontracted or partner of the
  consortium)\, direct subcontracts for specific purpose developments or th
 rough acquisition of specific purpose electronics that have been designed 
 by the company to match specific requirements of research projects. \nTher
 e are also different instrumentation teams at research facilities that dev
 elop their own electronics\, but making them available to wider communitie
 s (also scientific communities at other institutions) and providing approp
 riate support is beyond their capabilities or natural competences. Technol
 ogy based SMEs\, such as Seven Solutions can also play here the “spread 
 out” role\, provided that the source institution supports the first stan
 dardization and manufacturing efforts. We have also long expertise in open
  hardware\, and can thus also facilitate the transfer of electronic design
 s into the open hardware community aiming a more efficient use of the desi
 gn efforts.\nIndustry for Science is a small\, but very innovative market\
 , in which technology based companies such as Seven Solutions may collabor
 ate at different stages of different instrumentation developments\, and ev
 aluate long term transfer to wider industrial markets. Around large scale 
 scientific facilities such as CERN or GSI\, collaborate technology based S
 MEs\, for specific purpose developments. Mutual understanding between scie
 ntific teams/institutions and technology based companies is crucial for ef
 ficient collaborations. Furthermore\, when a technology based company beco
 mes part of the project and participates even at the development stages\, 
 this may facilitate the use of the same or similar technologies beyond the
  original source. It facilities technology transfer and the SME assumes sp
 ecific roles (such as manufacturing and support) that are more natural to 
 companies than research institutions.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/7
