BT2i is proud to annouce today that Pr Jean–Marie DUBOIS, from CNRS and former director of IJL (Institut Jean Lamour) joins BT2i as Sr Advisor. Jean-Marie will participate in different missions managed by BT2i Materials & Processes Dept.
Jean Marie DUBOIS’s research topics have revolved around metal physics and engineering of complex metallic materials. He is the author of more than 250 scientific articles in refereed journals, 14 international patents, and 7 books. After establishing structure models for metallic glasses and quasicrystals, Prof. Dubois became interested in applied properties of these materials: heat insulation, low adhesive properties and infrared light absorption, cold-welding and solid-solid adhesion in vacuum of Al-based complex intermetallics against steel. His general interest is on understanding the surface energy of those materials and their scaling properties in relation to their electronic structure and crystal lattice complexity.
Marc-Henri MENARD has been active in the field of international technology transfers for 30 years. He began his career as Jr Consultant in a Private-Public Consultancy so called ADER Limousin Poitou-Charentes (Association for the Development of the Education and the Research), former ANVAR regional correspondent (French National National Agency for Innovation ), now BPI France. He has participated in the creation of the first ever Regional Innovation Workshop, 35 years before current Fablabs ! In 1979, with Louis Chalanset, he found Innovation 128, pioneering European Consultancy in Innovation Management, Technology watch and International Technology Transfers (licensing In and Out). He managed Innovation 128 up to 2015, and then found BT2i.
The Global Innovation Index has just released its new report about the innovation in the world in 2015. The GII “aims to capture the multi-dimensional facets of innovation and provide the tools that can assist in tailoring policies to promote long-term output growth, improved productivity, and job growth”.
Switzerland, UK and Sweden lead the innovation race in the world.
