“
Italy
at Cern”: Italian High Technology Industry Protagonist at
Geneva
Research Centre
Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 11: The Italian industry will be protagonist
from 14th to 17th November thanks to the exhibition “
Italy
at Cern”: an excellent shop-window where the most technologically qualified
companies will present their avant-garde products.
The “
Italy
at Cern” exhibition takes place every two or three years. It is organized by
Sandro Centro, Infn researcher and Industrial Liaison Officer at Cern, and by
Federico Ferrini, scientific officer at permanent representation at
International Organizations of Geneva, with the collaboration of the Italian
Chamber of Commerce for
Switzerland
.
The inauguration of the event will take place on Tuesday, November 15th at 14:30
p.m. at the
l’Anfitheater
Building
of Cern in presence of M.P. Guido Possa, Vice-Minister for Education,
University and Research.
“The challenge for the building of detectors for Lhc experiments requires the
development of innovative technologies to which realization industries are
called. An immediate economic return derives from the collaboration between
research centres and industries, as well as a technological transfer, essential
for the improvement of competitiveness” says Roberto Petronzio, president of
Infn.
Italian industry is required to provide Cern high technological equipments with
a great added value. Our country characterizes itself in particular in the
fields of mechanics, high vacuum technologies, electronics for detectors, and
electric and civil engineering. “The position of Italian industry is very
satisfactory not only in percentage terms, in view of the relationship between
acquired orders and national contribution to the Cern, but most of all in
absolute terms.
Italy
is the second supplier country and since 2004 the returns in terms of orders
have been overcoming the paid contribution. For an Italian contribution of 80,4
millions of Swiss franc,
Italy
has received orders for 85 millions and 2005 will shut up in an even more
positive way” says Sandro Centro. In particular
Italy
, with Ansaldo Superconduttori, excels in the building of one third of 1200
magnetic dipoles of Lhc, and with Simic in the production of the 75% of
cryostats, which contain the cold masses of the dipoles. Besides the two
mentioned companies, other 24 firms will participate in Cern exhibition. Among
these, Renco,
Caen
, Cecom, Ocem and Saes Getter.
