To stop publicly-funded research sinking in the valley of death, it is essential to bring industry and universities together in centres dedicated to commercialisation, according to Mike Gregory and Roman Szumski, experts from the UK and Canada

ITER will be the biggest-ever fusion device generating a plasma whose volume will be close to 840 m3 at 150 million ˚ C, ten times the temperatures at the core of the sun. To achieve these temperatures we would need powerful heating systems using high-energy beams, in order to push together the nuclei and trigger off a fusion reaction.

In a large (€30 Million) H2020-supported collaborative project, academia joins forces with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), large industry, contract research organisations (CROs) and regulatory bodies to achieve a paradigm shift in toxicology towards a more efficient and animal-free chemical safety assessment.

The projects study the impacts and opportunities of digitalisation, service robotics, the platform economy, and the energy revolution.
