About SoSMSE
Sandrine Lacombe, Mario Rocca, Fabrizio Barberis
We look forward to welcoming you to our Summer School in Genoa
The school has come to its thirteenth edition, having started in 2009 as a Lifelong Learning Programme in the Erasmus Programme (2009-2014), now continuing in a self financed mode, as envisaged by the European Commission (EC).
SoSMSE deals with the necessity to fill the gap between the scientific and technical knowledge acquired by the students at the University, on the one hand, and the requests they will have to face in their work career either in academic institutions or industry, on the other hand: in other words with the necessity to develop entrepreneurship. This last issue continues to be a pivotal point for the EC, which has recently launched The Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan.
To this goal the students will attend to lectures in Economy Management, Project Management, Empowering Communication Skills, Knowledge Transfer, Copyright & Patent Law, Digital Tools for Research and Communication, Horizon Europe, and Professional Project.
All the lecturers are scientists and engineers who have learned the subject they teach hands-on, in years of experience, which gives a uniquely focussed perspective to their lectures.
The School
The objectives of the School are giving to the students the skills to:
All the lectures will be given in English by professors and industry professionals, coming from four different countries.
The school grants 5 ECTS and is devised as an Intensive Program, which exposes students to a rather demanding schedule, comprising frontal lectures and classroom exercises, group work made either autonomously or under supervision.
However, these efforts will be requited in various ways, for example in terms of soft skills acquired by the students by the end of the courses.
Furthermore, internationality and heterogeneity of the students will entail confronting different approaches to studying and working, broadening the participants’ minds.
The final examination consists in the presentation in front of a jury of the professional project which the candidates will prepare utilizing what they’ve learned in the courses. Each candidate will receive a diploma mentioning the mark obtained.
The Courses

Digital Tools for Research and Communication
The aim of the course is to provide the participants with the necessary tools on the new technologies of information and communication to help them in their everyday tasks as researchers.
The courses will focus on the following topics:
Basic introduction to computer hardware and software: Here the goal is to be able to identify a simple problem and explain it, in adequate terms, to the IT technician in order to solve your problem in a short period of time. Also we will answer the fundamental question: what software should I use for a specific task?
Templates (word and PowerPoint): We will learn how to create, modify and use a template in order to draft a paper, prepare a poster and make a PowerPoint presentation. Tips will be given for making an enticing PowerPoint presentation.
References manager: drafting a paper with many references could be tricky. Here we will define our needs in terms of references manager.
Social networks and e-reputation: We will see the difference between the professional network and facebook and twitter.
An overview of project management tools will be provided (Gantt diagrams, Web calendar, file sharing and web search).
Copyright and Patent Law
The protection and valorisation of technological and commercial assets of a company is essential.
The technological asset of a company is the set of knowledge for product manufacturing (R&D included), the production processes, and the service performance.
The main tool to protect and increase the value of the technological assets of a company is the patent.
The commercial asset of a company includes, among the others, the “company name” and the relevant “product or service names” or “logos”, which are used every day to promote the company in the market. The main tool to enhance such a commercial asset is the trademark.
The portfolio of patents, trademarks and other assets, if any, constitute the Intellectual Property asset of a company. Especially in the technological advanced fields, such a portfolio may constitute one of the most important and economic “intangible assets” of a company. Consequently, it is essential to take care of it more and more.
Personal Professional Project
The course of PPP aims at improving the methodology of the students to identify their personal skills/value as experts and future workers, preparing them at creating a merchandizing structure (start-up mainly) or activity based on these personal skills/value.
In this perspective, all the knowledge/know-how brought by the other courses will be used to analyze the international market and societal needs etc…and transform these personal competencies into professional project.
This course will strengthen abilities to work in group, intensively with focused objectives. The result of this work will be evaluated through an 15 min oral presentation and 10 min questions.
The lecture is organized as follows:
1. Assessment of competence and CV, preparation
2. Methodology presentation
3. Team work and evaluation
Prof. Sandrine Lacombe obtained a Phd in Sciences from Université Paris-Sud (France). She was a post-doctoral fellow of G. Ertl (Nobel Prize) at Fritz-Haber Institut der Max Planck Gesellschaft (Berlin, Germany).
She is the head of a research team at Institute of Molecular Sciences Orsay (Univ. Paris-Sud / CNRS/France). She is the coordinator of two major European projects: the SERP+ Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree SERP+ and of the Marie Curie ITN programme ARGENT. She has a strong experience of training and recruiting students, PhDs, junior scientists and managers. Since 2016, she is Vice-President of International Affairs of Université Paris-Sud.
Project Management
The course aims at introducing elements of methodology in managing and planning complex applied research projects, in which many peoples are involved and several activities have to be identified, evaluated, planned and controlled for their effective execution.
The course is organized in three distinct phases.
In the first one elements on the theory of project management, in terms of planning, controlling and reporting, are given by a classical lecture.
Then, in the second phase, an example of practical application is illustrated to the students by the teacher.
In the last phase, students will be divided in groups and will apply themselves the methodology to case studies, suitable for a classroom coming out from different scientific backgrounds.
He has been appointed for a long time as Research Director of Elsag-Bailey, one of the most advanced Hi Thech companies in Italy and USA.

He has been the Director of the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research (IRST) in Trento, Italy, where he leaded several hundreds of researchers in Microelectronics and Artificial Intelligence areas.
He has been professor in Cybernetics at the Physics Department of Genoa and Trento Universities, as well as in many Research Management courses in Europe, at Genoa University and at SISSA Institute in Trieste, Italy.
He is author of more than 50 scientific papers and got four international industrial patents.
Knowledge Transfer
The talk is focused on analyzing and defining the steps that are necessary to move from Research to Innovation, i.e. to get out from the Lab and move to the different playground of Innovation. Focus will be set to critically evaluate an entrepreneurial proposal to be introduced to the market and generally to a non-scientific arena. Technical parameters as well as normally adopted benchmarks to create your own Innovation Proposal will be shown and discussed with the students. Regulatory framework as well as standardization issues will be introduced to provide a full scenario about the move from the Lab to the market.
Investors’ mindset
The talk is focused on highlighting the different viewpoint on innovative issues of scientists and investors. This is a fundamental setpoint in order to guarantee success to the fundraising campaign that is the base of every innovation process. The first steps out of the lab are fundamental and mistakes are almost unavoidable, indeed it is important to clearly understand that scientific and investing parts usually have different aims and move with different operative strategies. Comparative examples will be discussed with the students to better appreciate the existing different mindset. The conversation will help to shed light on this issue.
From ethics to Dual-Use and research security
Research activity is normally focused on enhancing human knowledge and producing an advantage to civil society. This is called the science social impact. This improvement of social beings may not be immediately visible but all the contributions will provide a change in our society. Unfortunately this scenario is not always oriented to the originally aimed goals. Dual-Use is the complex technical-legal systems of Research and Innovation export evaluation that in Europe as well as in USA looks to avoid that goods and technologies created for civilian purposes may be adopted in the scenario of social threats and risks provided by conflicts and difficult geopolitical playgrounds. Scientist are called on duty to be aware of this risk and therefore are recommended to take care about what they produce in the Labs and who is really going to use this innovation. The Dual-Use main principles as well as the risks that scientists face when this care is not adopted will be shown and discussed with the students.

Seminars
Seminars have always been an essential part of the school program: they either focused on a particular aspect of the courses or provide a direct connection with all the research and development stakeholders (universities, research centres, industries, science/technology parks, incubators). This year we are very glad to announce that two former students have agreed to convey their personal experience to their younger fellow students.
Innovation Mastery: Methodologies for Startups and Open Innovation in the Health & Biotech sectors
This session explores essential innovation methodologies for startups, focusing on Lean Startup and Open Innovation, with a specific focus on the health and biotech sectors. Attendees will gain a high-level understanding of how these approaches drive growth and foster collaboration. The discussion will highlight how big corporates in health and biotech use Open Innovation to collaborate effectively with startups, leveraging external ideas and technologies to innovate their business. Real-world examples will illustrate successful corporate-startup partnerships, providing insights into practical applications of these innovative strategies.
The Innovation funnel and its stages from idea generation to market uptake with examples
Part 1 – advanced materials for safety and climate change adaptation Donato Zangani
Part 2 – new energy vectors Enrico Di Martino
The presentation will provide an insight on a structured approach to bring R&D results into the market which include several steps from idea generation, screening, concept development, feasibility analysis, prototype development, testing, up to market launch and commercialization. Ideas are generated from various sources and filtered based on criteria such as feasibility and market potential. Selected ideas are developed into detailed concepts, tested through prototypes, and launched into the market. Ultimately, the goal of the innovation funnel is to transform ideas into successful innovations that create value for the organization and its stakeholders. Examples of the application of such approach are provided from projects RINA has carried out in the last years in the areas of advanced materials and solutions for safety and climate change adaptation (part 1) and in the area of new energy vectors with a particular focus on hydrogen (part 2).
Donato has fostered strong collaborations with top-tier professionals and organizations involved in R&D and Innovation projects, in particular large scale and open innovation projects funded by the European Commission. Notable achievements include the achievement of the Safety Award in Mechanical Engineering from the Institution of mechanical Engineers in UK and the EU Champions of Transport Research Competition award for the contribution to surface transport EU-funded projects.
Among the projects coordinated by Donato ZANGANI, the POLYTECT project was awarded with the highly prized JEC Awards 2010 for the category Building & Construction for the Composite Seismic Wallpaper concept, the FLY-BAG project won the TechTextil Innovation Prize, in the category “Safety and Protection”, the project EVERYWH2ERE was awarded in 2021 the Best Innovation Award by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking.
Donato has authored a portfolio of patents across various domains, reflecting a strong commitment to innovation and intellectual property.
Soft Skills
Team Bonding
According to the Oxford Dictionary team bonding is: “The action or practice of seeking to improve the effectiveness, cohesiveness, and morale of a team of people (typically in sport or in the workplace), especially by means of activities or events intended to increase motivation and promote cooperation; the result of this, increased cohesion or morale in a team of people.”
In SoSMSE team bonding has always been an essential part of the training, because any skill related to the capability of working in team and being able to forge bonds with the co-workers will be pivotal in all careers.
This year the groups will be further forged by the challenges posed by the smart working imposed by the virtual edition.
