Technology Development and Commercialization at Argonne
National Laboratory
Argonne: One of DOE’s largest research facilities
Located 25 miles from the Chicago Loop, it was the first national laboratory, chartered in 1946
Operated by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Department of Energy
Major research missions include basic science, environmental management, and advanced energy technologies
About 3,000 employees, including about 1,000 scientists and engineers, of whom 750 hold doctorate degrees
Annual operating budget of about $650 million (80% from DOE)
Since 1990, Argonne has worked with more than 600 companies and numerous federal agencies

Home to one of world’s fastest supercomputers for open science, Argonne is a leader in computation science and a pioneer on the path to exascale.
Argonne is a leader in high-performance computing
High-performance computing enables detailed simulations
How fast is exascale? 1018 operations per second To match the speed of an exascale computer, all of the 6.9 billion people alive today would need to perform more than 140 million calculations a second.

National Lab priorities: To guide use-inspired
fundamental research To address key problems with
`dream teams’ of academic, industry, and laboratory scientists working collaboratively
To accelerate transfer of science insights and technologies to industry
National lab system links basic science and industry

Collaborating with Argonne
Argonne’s collaborative relationships are defined by established mechanisms:Contractual work agreements
– Work for Others (WFO)– Collaborative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA)Test or short-term limited work agreementsUser Facility agreementsLicensing agreements

DiscussionDiscussion 10
Three contractual paths for collaboration
1. License Technology Patents and Copyrights
2. Joint Development3. Proprietary dedicated
