Agenda• Who we are• Our pilot study
Aims and research focus Why studying both Proton and Carbon Ion routes Methods and data sources
• Time line and follow-up of the study

Who we are• LINC Lab (Learning & Innovation in Networks &
Communities) at Grenoble Ecole de Management, France Prof. Dimitris Assimakopoulos, Founder and Director Andrew Parker, Associate Professor and Deputy
Director Andrea Carafa, Marie Curie ESR Fellow
• University of Virginia, USA Rob Cross, Associate Professor, McIntire School of
Business Drew Hess, Assistant Professor, McIntire School of
Business

Aims• Understanding the socio-economic impacts and
knowledge spillovers • From the high energy physics (HEP)
community • To industry and clinical practice
• Developing an appropriate research methodology for a more comprehensive future study
> 4
Research focus• Proton and Ion-based Technologies • The emerging community that socially constructs
these technologies • Formal and informal collaboration between and
within:• HEP community (e.g. CERN)• Industry (e.g. Siemens)• Clinicians (e.g. Heidelberg, Marburg)

Why studying both routes?• Proton route:
Mature Entering a final acceptance stage Large majority of machines provided by industry
• Ion route (mainly carbon): In its early days of adoption In its clinical evaluation phase Still in the hands of research labs with ongoing
transfer of expertise to industry for development and construction
Proton route’s societal impacts as a benchmark for ion’s

Methodologies and data sources
1. Semi-structured interviews with leading experts Aims:
• Exploratory• Refining the study’s scope
Data sources• HEP community• Industry• Clinicians
*Interviews done to date: Ugo Amaldi, Michael Benedikt, Manjit Dosanjh

3. Survey-based (informal network) analysis Informal collaboration in the emerging community Identifying and pin pointing central connectors,
knowledge brokers, rising stars etc.
4. Semi-structured interviews with leading experts identified through the formal / informal network analysis Aim: Triangulation of findings

Time line and follow-up of the pilot project• Duration: October 2010 - July 2011• 2 presentations of final results
• LINC Lab, Net Innovation Roundtable at GEM (June 17th
2011)• CERN, Geneva, July 18th 2011
• Results will be used as an input for a large research proposal to the European Commission (to be submitted in December 2011)
• Possible developments: The EC proposal may include other HEP related technologies /
cases Increased understanding of socio-economic impacts and
knowledge spillovers through comparative analysis and generalisation
