Neuchâtel—famous for its long tradition of watchmaking and microtechnology—proves the ideal location for this groundbreaking innovation hub. Three of the canton’s microtechnology institutions (the Centre Electronique Horloger (CEH), the Fondation Suisse pour la Recherche en Microtechnique (FSRM), and the Laboratoire Suisse de Recherches Horlogères (LSRH)) merge. The Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) is born.
From day one, a number of well-known Swiss companies support the new center. Many become shareholders and maintain links with CSEM as it develops.
CSEM is committed to both applied and industry-commissioned R&D. A bridge and catalyst for the transfer of technology and know-how between science and the economy, we continually adapt our research focus to meet industry’s needs. And this constant re-adaptation has taken the center beyond its historic ties with watchmaking. Since Beta 1—the world’s first electronic watch (developed by CEH)—first paved the way for the use of microtechnology in domains other than horology, we have moved microtechnology into many new fields. Today, CSEM supplies a broad range of markets—including automotive, medical, machine tools, and space exploration—with an even broader range of technological solutions.

Developing our new technology, we have accepted the challenge of consistently increase the efficiency of fluid machines that work with alternative sources, wind and water, where today the variability of natural resources weighs heavily on the energy production. More production will eventually mean offering a realistic alternative to the fossil mix market, and all conventional energy sources.
Through this project, we will be able to integrate our small wind turbines in the urban environment at the building scale: optimal energy, safety & comfort delivered for the first time not only to the ground, but also to the rooftop installation.

The University of Bristol is one of the most prestigious universities in the UK. It is a thriving international community combining excellence in research and innovation with a vibrant entrepreneurial culture. Research is at the heart of the University’s mission and accounts for its international reputation. The University organizes its academic affairs in 25 Schools and 15 research centers arranged in six faculties: Engineering, Science, Medicine and Dentistry, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, Social Sciences and Law, and Arts.
In the 2008 UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2008), nearly 93% of research at the University was deemed to be of an international standard. Over 60% of the research assessed was awarded either the top 4* rating, defined as ‘world-leading’, or the 3* rating, ‘internationally excellent’. As a result, in 2009-10 the University was allocated the 8th highest share of government research funding in the UK. The University participates in hundreds of international collaborations both within and outside of Europe and attracts research funding from organisations around the world.
Public engagement team
Within the Research and Enterprise Development Division, the Public Engagement team works across the University of Bristol to support and promote public engagement with research and teaching.
Our team supports a number of innovative projects engaging a range of diverse publics, from SPHERE, an engineering project exploring the use of home-based sensor technologies to improve health impacts, to Green and Black, a community co-creation project aimed at increasing minority ethnic inclusivity in environmental initiatives. We work directly with university research institutes such as the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute (Health), Cabot Institute (Environment and sustainability), Brigstow Institute (Arts, Humanities and Technology) and the Jean Goulding Institute (Data science) and collaborate with academic faculties to inspire, devise and implement public engagement activities that have tangible impact in society.
The Public Engagement team coordinate and deliver a range of training to undergraduates, postgraduates and research professionals in the university, embedding effective public engagement in the culture of the university.
One of our specialisms as a department is training and engagement for responsible research and innovation. Through projects such as EU funded PERFORM and Synenergene, we have started to explore different methodologies that bring Responsible Research and Innovation into practice, creating tangible impacts for the public, responding to the specific contexts of different research groups and influencing the culture of research within institutions.
The Public Engagement team works closely with the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement which shares best practice in engagement across the UK universities. More info available at http://www.bristol.ac.uk/public-engagement/

Establish Corby as the UK’s leading community scale demonstrator location for future low carbon living, working and transportation.
The CIC’s Mission is to
Support economic growth, develop job opportunities and build a better place ensuring the Corby community benefits from our efforts.
Our approach is to
Develop and promote projects that actively enhance Corby and support its growth objectives, and to secure funding from private and public sources to deliver these projects.
Across this website you can see information about the projects we’re already delivering as well as some of the Switched on Thinking that is leading to new projects and partnerships.
We see the bigger picture. On the road to sustainable EV charging, several industries need to work together: automotive, ICT, and, most of all, the energy sector. We believe that only by addressing the energy side of the equation and using mostly renewable sources for electric transport, EVs can offer a long-term solution to the problems of air pollution, climate change, and energy efficiency.
The way to achieve seamless integration of EV charging into the energy grid is to offer all EV charging related services at home and in public as a part of a smart, comprehensive charging ecosystem. Our solutions aim especially to optimise electric vehicle charging on private locations where the majority of charging will take place. We want to help EV batteries become an essential part of smart grids to facilitate a wide use of renewable energy for electric mobility.
