Welcome to CIKC

CIKC aims to create a new approach to the exploitation of research with:

• integrated business and technical expertise based in a University to leverage world class research

• critical mass able to support pilot prototyping and production

• space for small and large companies to partner innovatively

• the flexible transition of ideas, activities and people between Universities and Industry

• capacity to generalise the activity models to other technology areas in time

Combining world-class research with a strong partnership with business, CIKC will engage with industrial partners to shape the work programme, allow the secondment of researchers from industry and other universities for knowledge exchange, and enable the provision of pilot manufacturing lines for prototyping. The Mission of the Centre is to provide the business and

technical expertise and infrastructure to enable those with exploitable concepts to achieve commercial success either with existing companies or with spin-outs.

CIKC will create a centre of excellence in low temperature processing and fabrication of products via the use of new materials. These skills will be honed in relation to emergent needs in: distributed electronics; flexible electronics and displays; and communications products, rendered using additive processes or similarly appropriate advanced manufacturing paradigms. We will partner with industry to create credible business propositions and secure intellectual property. In so doing we will create a knowledge base pertinent to the enablement of new wealth creation and become influential in relation to strategic development of the basic science and device, system and manufacturing technology

CIKC

Introduction ‘By bringing a credible team of competence together and by putting at its heart a strong scientific and technical ability, and high-quality facilities, we are unique in that we can provide the long-term opportunities that many industries cannot. The University is already an effective centre for knowledge transfer into business expression but the EPSRC funding has allowed us to take another step in that direction by coordinating these activities in a meaningful way.

With the strategic objective of wealth creation, the direction of a significant

proportion of the work will be directly influenced and determined by societal and industrial need. Through the CIKC, the EPSRC and the University are collaborating in a flagship programme that will allow it to deliver the strategic objective set out by the Government – to show that research funding provides societal benefit.’

About CIKC EPSRC are providing £7m over five years to fund the Cambridge Integrated Knowledge Centre (CIKC). The aim of the initiative is to provide an environment that supports knowledge exploitation in order to increase the economic impact of EPSRC research and postgraduate training. IKCs bring a completely new dimension through the provision of funding to service and develop the knowledge transfer interface with business, strongly tied to a programme of pre-competitive collaborative research and postgraduate training.

CIKC aims to develop advanced manufacturing technologies using new macromolecular materials systems, such as polymers, advanced liquid crystals and nanostructures, for applications in computer and sensing technologies, displays and communication systems, and to create valid exploitation routes for these innovations.

CIKC brings together research activities in molecular and macromolecular materials in the Electrical Engineering Division (in particular, the Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics) and in the Cavendish Laboratory with the expertise of the Judge Business School, the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) and the Centre for Business Research (CBR), to create innovative knowledge exchange activities spanning business research, training and technology exploitation.

Technology CIKC has identified the following three core technology themes:

– Plastic (opto-)electronics: flexible displays/electronics and distributed electronics on rigid substrates at a “low” temperature budget

– Augmented or additive processing on active substrates (e.g. liquid crystal on silicon devices, LCOS)

– Complementary actions such as photovoltaic or energy storage/batteries

The development of molecular and macromolecular based components is likely to meet a very large range of commercial applications. The use of these new materials has been particularly apparent in display applications, for example LCOS devices are

now becoming the main contenders in the emerging microdisplays industry. Polymer semiconductors, compatible with low-temperature solution-based processing, offer the potential of integrating electronic, optical and photonic devices into flexible, low-cost plastic substrates, enabling a range of innovative products.

The penetration of soft materials into the electronics and photonics markets has only just begun, and with a market estimate measured in $10s of billion, the UK must capitalize on its strength in the basic science. CIKC provides an exciting opportunity to ensure that pioneering and world-leading research within the UK can be exploited, and that UK industry can remain at the cutting edge of this rapidly evolving field.

Infrastructure and facilities CIKC has a collectively owned core of capital equipment, complementary to current facilities, to enable product development right through to pilot production. CIKC collaborative projects draw upon both physical and personnel resource across the partnership.

The CAPE laboratories and the Cavendish are well-equipped with dark-room, wet labs, communications demonstration and test equipment, general electronic component assembly and test as well as large very high quality clean-room suites, which are utilised by CIKC projects.

CIKC is currently adding to this infrastructure specific equipment sets for

1. Liquid Crystal on silicon (LCOS) device prototyping

2. Printing of organic electronic devices

3. Low temperature deposition of transparent conducting oxides on plastic substrates.

4. Fabrication of large area liquid crystal displays on plastic

We would welcome enquiries from industry and other academic institutions interested in accessing this infrastructure.

Back end processing on the silicon CMOS platform embraces many aspects of nanotechnology, semiconductor device engineering and optical communications and is a basic resource across much of electronics and photonics. CIKC is putting in place equipment to allow die level assembly of LCOS and related device prototypes

CIKC is setting up infrastructure for the scalable low-cost manufacture of printed thin film transistors. These have potential applications for: – Active matrix backplanes for flexible displays – RFID tags – Sensors We are also developing printing processes for polymer solar cells.

Roadmapping

Successful achievement of CIKC goals requires a high level of collaboration and integration across the various programme themes, projects and activities. This is particularly challenging given the complexity of both the underlying science/technology and the potential routes to commercial exploitation, together with the diversity and number of stakeholders and projects involved.

Roadmapping is being used as a framework to support strategic planning for individual projects within CIKC, as well as supporting alignment within the programme. Roadmapping techniques are widely used in industry to explore, manage and communicate the linkages between technology and research investments, product developments, business objectives and market opportunities, using a structured visual framework.

The exploratory roadmapping method provides a structured means for mapping and exploring CIKC project exploitation opportunities, in order to

• Support project strategy development at an early stage.

• Clarify exploitation paths (in particular, to identify application opportunities in the short, medium and long term).

• Identify issues of relevance to other projects to support programme alignment

• Initiate roadmapping in projects.

Exploratory workshops have been held for a number of CIKC projects using a

roadmapping template to capture participant views and guide discussion. The summary view is then used to create outline roadmaps which highlight short, medium and long term application opportunities and associated exploitation enablers and barriers

From a programme alignment perspective the key outcome from each workshop is a report summarising the commercial and exploitation issues identified, including short, medium and long term application opportunities, in a format that non-technical experts can understand and which are of relevance to the commercialisation projects

Business & training Training Courses The educational and training component provides CIKC-funded staff and students with skills and tools to understand the challenges and opportunities in the application of science and technology to the marketplace. CIKC corporate members also have access to training and executive development programmes delivered by the Judge Business School and IfM

Ignite

This highly regarded course aims to give delegates the tools, contacts and confidence to transform a business idea or innovation into a commercially viable venture. The one week programme comprised a blend of practical teaching sessions, one-to-one group clinics, mentors’ sessions and expert advice and culminated in the delegates presenting their business projects to a panel including business angels, ventures capitalists and serial entrepreneurs.

MOTI This year over 40 PhD students from physics and engineering attended the MOTI course for the first time through CIKC.

MOTI equips students with an understanding of how their science, engineering and technology knowledge can be transformed into commercial products and services, and the pathways by which innovations reach the market place. The course provides a basic grounding in the domains of strategy, organisation, marketing, finance and accounting, microeconomics and commercialisation of innovation. In each area, the focus is on issues particularly relevant to managing innovation – be it in products, processes or in the strategy and direction of an organisation. Lectures take place in the evenings during Michaelmas and the early part of Lent terms. Each subject course comprises 8 hours of teaching, taught in 2 hour sessions.

i-Teams CIKC is also supporting the i-Teams programme, in which multi-disciplinary teams of post-graduate students work to

assess the commercial prospects for a University invention, by discussing the technology with real target customers.

In the 2007-8 academic year, a total of 8 projects were run, 3 from CAPE, 2 from the IfM and one from Physics. These projects involved a total of 55 students, including 10 PhD and 7 MPhil students from the CIKC departments. For more details see www.iteamsonline.org

TIM Four CIKC sponsored participants attended the 3-day Technology and Innovation Management training course in April. This programme aims to develop understanding of the key tools and techniques needed to fully exploit technological investments and opportunities. It is run by the Centre for Technology Management in the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM).

Executive Education CIKC can also facilitate the attendance of staff from our industrial partners on the Open Programme of Executive Education run by the Judge Business School. These programmes are designed for business professionals seeking new perspectives and insights on key management issues. A portfolio of over 20 programmes enables participants to choose courses that extend their skills and understanding to achieve personal development and career objectives.

Most programmes are offered in a two-day format and located at Cambridge University.

For more details of the programme see www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/execed/open/index.html. If you would like to discuss what assistance CIKC can offer your company then please contact the office.

Student projects Core to CIKC’s remit is the delivery of student projects that facilitate technology transfer by bringing commercial skills, primarily in strategy, marketing and business planning, to early-stage technology. This element provides opportunities for graduate students in business to use the skills gained in the classroom in a practical context through work on projects related to the commercialisation of CIKC technologies. In return, CIKC partners get access to teams of exceptionally bright and motivated students to tackle problems of real business importance.

See www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/projects or www.ifm.eng.cam.ac.uk/studentprojects for more details.

If you have a business problem you think could provide a basis for a consultancy project then please contact the CIKC office as soon as possible so that a potential project brief can be discussed.

Commercialisation Despite successes within the Cambridge cluster and elsewhere, the UK has a long history of failing to build sizeable new global technology businesses and in microelectronics the problem is compounded by the absence of many elements of the manufacturing supply chain within the UK economy. The key challenges for the commercialisation programme are to understand the specific industry and innovation context within which CIKC operates, the technology management challenges and the policy and regulatory environment and its impacts.

The CIKC commercialisation programme has four key objectives:

• to improve the speed and effectiveness with which CIKC projects move to successful commercialisation and facilitate access to a range of commercial and funding partners

• to deliver practical, evidence-based policy recommendations to Government, EPSRC, and the University, on how the UK science base can best be exploited for the benefit of the regional and national UK economy.

• to develop a set of best practice outcome and impact metrics and an associated database to enable IKC to be a policy and practice thought leader in this area

• to make a significant contribution to the academic literature on technology commercialisation

Regulation of Molecular and Macromolecular Materials Laure Dodin from IfM has been exploring the regulatory regimes for nanomaterials in the EU, US and Japan as part of the IKCCL project.

Nanotechnology has been earmarked by the UK, the US and the Japanese governments as a strategic sector for their economy. But the development of a regulatory framework for this technology, rendered necessary by the rapid expansion of nanotechnology R&D as well as the handling and commercialisation of nanoproducts, is difficult as this new technology presents risks still largely unknown.

The regulators from all three countries have adopted a similar regulatory strategy to deal with the situation: prioritising the reduction of scientific uncertainty over the creation of new regulations, they have developed a cradle-to-grave approach which permits taking into account the possible hazards posed by nanomaterials at each stage of their life cycle.

However, the investigation of possible regulatory options solely at the domestic level is insufficient and national regulators are also involved in an international collaboration.

Laure’s notes on the regulatory regimes in each region and a comparison of the different approaches they have adopted can be accessed on our Camtools site.

The Economics of Uncertainty in Technology Development Niyazi Oztoprak and Stefan Scholtes of the Judge Business School have developed a spreadsheet teaching case based around one of the CIKC technology projects.

The magnitude of the future value of new and potentially disruptive technologies is highly uncertain, driven by technological, commercial and political risks and opportunities. A solid understanding and effective communication of these uncertainties and their effects on development plans is paramount for an efficient allocation of effort and funds and the design of effective development strategies. The teaching case guides the student through a range of increasingly sophisticated valuation methodologies with improved incorporation of value uncertainty using a dataset comprising 20,000 scenarios for the change of the projected launch value of a product as the development unfolds.

Organisation The Management Committee is the main CIKC decision-making body. It reviews projects against milestones and determines the distribution of money and resources between the different tasks.

The four KT panels assess proposals for funding, make recommendations to the Management Committee and review ongoing research activity.

An Independent Advisory Board, including external members from industry, other

universities and government advises CIKC on strategy, policy

The goal of the CIKC is to ensure that the progress of innovation through to commercialisation is facilitated. Our companion goal is to capture the process via which this occurs and also to identify the metrics appropriate to assess such actions.

News Small grants To ensure some new, disruptive and challenging exploration of ideas is encouraged (within a balanced and focused portfolio) a proportion of CIKC funds (approximately 10%) have been reserved for radical thinking or exceptional ideas, a concept strongly backed by CIKC industrial partners and the Advisory Board. The intent is to use this funding stream to broaden the range of CIKC partners particularly those in other academic institutions, by making available access to CIKC infrastructure and facilities.

A pilot round was recently held for small scale, short collaborative projects including (i) feasibility studies (ii) grants for the use of CIKC infrastructure,

facilities or services

(iii) access for IKC researchers to equipment or services at other institutes

(iv) requests from an industry partner for solution to a specific problem.

Following review by the KT panels and the CIKC Management Committee, several proposals have been selected for the initial funding round including projects with Professor Ajoy Kar of Heriot Watt University, Professor Arokia Nathan of UCL and Professor Stephen Elliot of the Chemistry Department.

Our intention is to make a number of future calls with a wider distribution which will probably be targeted at specific areas. The UK Displays and Lighting KTN has offered to assist with this process.

Forthcoming Meetings Commercialisation of Novel Electronic Device Technology November 6-7 CIKC is holding a symposium on the topic ‘Commercialising Novel Electronic Device Technologies; Policies to Maximise the Benefits to UK plc’ at St Catharine’s College on November 6-7 2008. The aim of the symposium is to examine the practical issues associated with exploiting academically originated technologies and the policy instruments needed to assist this process. In doing so the conference will bring together academics (researchers and entrepreneurs), investors and policy makers in a structured process focused around a model of the commercialisation process. Institutional models and policy mechanisms such as

IMEC, the Fraunhofer Institutes and ITI Scotland will be explored.

All the key UK government agencies involved in supporting this commercialisation process will be involved. We will seek to facilitate a discussion under the Chatham House rule of the challenges and the way in which different policy instruments could be improved or augmented to address these. The focus will be on how policies instruments taken as a group can address challenges at all points in the commercialisation process. Invitations to this event will be sent out shortly.

Innovation and Commercialisation Expert Seminar Series CIKC has laucnhed an expert seminar series in innovation and commercialisation. The seminar series will attract to Cambridge a highly-selected group of national and international experts in the fields of innovation and commercialisation practice and policy who will contribute to the CIKC programme by sharing their experiences and know-how through open seminars and focussed discussions with the CIKC community. The objectives of the seminar series are:

• to integrate insights from other technology commercialisation programmes into the developing IKC experiment

• to learn from state-of-the-art research projects which are concerned with monitoring or evaluating university research commercialisation initiatives in other countries and fields.

• to contribute to the broader dissemination of CIKC activities by establishing new avenues for knowledge exchange through personal interaction with international experts and other potential stakeholders not located in the Cambridge area.

• To encourage through exposure to the IKC community possible collaborative research with teams in other countries universities linked to the IKC experiment.

The initial seminar, “Knowledge on the Move”, was given by Prof. Luc Soete (the United Nations University - Maastricht

Economic and social Research and training centre on Innovation and Technology) on October 27th.

Future speakers include Prof. Philippe Mustar, (Chair of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Public Policy at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris (Mines-ParisTech) speaking on "Public policy to foster the creation of university spin-off firms in France. Rationale, tools and results." on November 24th and Prof. Massimo Colombo, (Professor of Economics of Technical Change, Politecnico di Milano) December 8.
