INTERSECT’s main result will be the release of the Interoperable Material-To-Device Simulation Box (IM2D) that is conceived as an interoperable, robust and friendly software solution for easier exploration of the materials workspace from an electronic device-oriented industrial perspective.

Beside the overall IM2D infrastructure, a set of key exploitable results has been selected and ranked .They are the Ginestra-AiiDA interface, the AiiDA-QE interface, the Aiida-SIESTA interface, the properties workflows, the Analysis of complex systems, and the semantic workflow.

The virtual event has 2 key areas: the Policy Conference, game-changing talks and conversations with research and innovation leaders from across the programme (more about the speakers), and the Science is Wonderful!, a virtual exhibition about ground-breaking research. The event also comprises hubs sessions and workshops.

The Hub sessions bring together people at the forefront of science innovation to build links between important research and real-world problems: each hub reflects 1 of the 10 research and innovation focus areas, and offers the chance to delve deeper into new ideas and how they will be applied in real world scenarios. Their workshops are smaller co-design or talks sessions to continue the conversation about game-changing subjects with other attendees in a more informal setting. Specific workshops from the Horizon Europe Hub in a co-design format will reflect on the best way to achieve the impacts we want from the first Horizon Europe work programme.

Among these workshops, we would highlight the “Facilitating data reusability across industrial sectors: the Industry Commons” event, taking place on the 24th, from 9:30 to 10:30 with Nadja Adamovic, Yanaris Ortega Garcia, Peter Dröll, Michela Magas, Javier Sanfelix: it will discuss R&I initiatives which mitigate barriers to industrial data reusability and facilitate the unlocking of value from data. Intersecters are invited to join!

Let’s shape the future of research and innovation in Europe together!

Abstract: INTERSECT aims at driving the uptake of materials modelling software in industry, bridging the gap between academic innovation and industrial novel production, with the goal of accelerating the process of materials selection and device design and deployment. The Innovation Management task is explicitly conceived to monitor the market needs and the technical evolution throughout the project lifetime, and to plan an exploitation strategy after its end. One main purpose of Innovation Management is to constantly refine the project work plan so as to meet the market and partner institutions’ (including academic, R&D institutes, EU infrastructures) needs with state-of-the-art technological solutions.

This deliverable includes the initial IM strategy and a detailed Innovation Management Plan of action. IM activities are managed by AMAT, in close collaboration with the Project Coordinator (CNR), the WP leaders, and the Advisory and Exploitation Board (AEB). Since innovation is not restricted to scientific invention, but embraces all the development and exploitation aspects of the project (such as commercialization, dissemination, licensing, IP management, etc.), this document is tightly connected and complementary to First Data Management Plan (Deliverable D4.2), First Business Plan (Deliverable D4.3), First report on dissemination and communication activity (Deliverable D4.4), Risk assessment and risk mitigation reports (Deliverable D5.2) and the consortium agreement that regulate specific actions and rules in the projects and within the participant groups.

In the initial part of the project (M1-18) the focus activity was on the design and the implementation of software (WP1-2) and the setup of the pilot cases (WP3). Thus, so far the application of this plan was premature. The exploitation activity planning is going to be predominant in the second part of the project, when outcomes and results will be achieved. Nonetheless, we have already set up the innovation tools described below, and we analyzed the qualifying aspects of the projects (e.g., deliverables and governance) along the lines of the present innovation plan (see Sec. 3.4.5). This constitutes the initial step for the actual implementation of the innovation plan.

The rest of the document is organized as follows:
● Section 1 – Introduction: it briefly presents INTERSECT and describes the purpose of the document and its intended audience;
● Section 2 – Innovation Strategy: it describes the IM approach;
● Section 3 – Innovation Management: it describes the application of the general;
Innovation strategy to INTERSECT and the specific framework for assessment, as a result of the Mapping phase;
● Section 4 – Conclusion: it summarizes the main outcomes of this deliverable.
