Successful Visit of UK DTI Mission on Information Technologies.
Final DTI Report now available (pdf)

In addition to participating and contributing to physics collaborations,  the activities of the IT Department  include

• collaborations with external partners to evaluate, design or deploy technologies
• actions to disseminate the knowledge and know-how created in the department (Outreach)
• actions to actually transfer, share or jointly develop technologies (actual Technology Transfer).

This site describes these various activities.

IT department activities focus on the fast changing Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), which often require that the necessary developments are conducted in collaboration with external partners.

• As a result, collaborations and partnering with external organizations are essential channels in the department for interactions with the outside world.
   

• A major channel for outreach is education, conferences, scientific publications and more generally outreach activities.
   

• A major channel for actual TT is transfer of software technologies via collaboration agreements or more frequently via open source mechanisms.

* The openlab and the EU-funded projects are collaborative undertakings which are not not per-se a Technology Transfer activities
