LINKING ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY FOR A GREEN (IT) SOCIETY Technology transfer between organisms like academia and industry is an important factor for the development of our society. But: Different organisms mean also different priorities, different points of view and difficulties in working together! Academia
Industry
Approach Search and find e.g: measuring load of servers, changing cooling, to develop new DCIM software
Decide and act e.g.: buy DCIM software ready to use
Criteria of efficiency
Profit and Scientific reputation company value e.g: Plenty of une.g: Green hype, Green investigated problems, washing "old wines in new bottles"
Freedom of Action
Average with limits through High but limits through resources Management: Some e.g: GreenIT allows breakthrough innovations might be too research, many open public calls where Green IT is present are limited ambitious with only long term ROI to iterative research
Green IT is a young research field : it is still possible to build up good databases and to follow innovations. GreenIT can be enhanced by finding and providing solutions from/for other fields or companies through cooperation, e.g: software can be developed to operate an energy efficient datacenter building, integrating DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) and BMS (Building Management System) TTOs (Transfer Technology Offices) collect data: technical knowledge, funding possibilities and contact. Research centers integrating TTOs have these data prepared for both: constructing a dedicated cooperation answering the needs of companies or society ; transferring directly GreenIT solutions when these meet the needs of parties. Companies should use TTOs and Angel investors for financing projects and collaborations-with the help of funding organisations and without the delay caused waiting for open public calls.
Pointing out different objectives, aims and approaches
Better understanding between partners (academia, industry,funding organisations),
Change in cooperation and knowledge transfer due to better understanding
Less knowledge and innovations losses in the fast changing field of Green IT
Bigger impact of Green IT on the society. Christina Herzog, IRIT, University of Toulouse,
