CERN Open Hardware Licence
A legal framework to facilitate
knowledge exchange across the
electronic design community.
In the spirit of knowledge and
technology dissemination, the CERN
OHL was created to govern the use,
copying, modification and distribution
of hardware design documentation,
and the manufacture and distribution
of products.

CERN OHL: it is making an impact!
• CERN OHL v1.1 Launched in 2011, great interest from the
worldwide community
• More than 100 hardware designs licensed under CERN OHL
• More than 20 companies are using it
• The license is being used by people outside our community
as well (and for any kind of hardware)
• Thanks to the interactions with the community, we improved
the license and launched v1.2 in 2013

CERN@school allows
students to use a
Timepix chip in the lab to
visualise radiation
Langton Ultimate Cosmic ray
Intensity Detector uses 5 Timepix
chips to monitor the radiation
environment in Space
Data from LUCID and
CERN@school detectors will be
uploaded to the Grid and made
available for students to analyse

Knowledge Transfer through Procurement
Results from a survey of companies involved in technology-intensive
procurement contracts with CERN.
178 questionnaires analyzed, related to 503 MCHF procurement
budget.
Results:


44% indicated technological learning
42% increased their international exposure
38% developed new products
36% indicated market learning
13% started new R&D teams
52% would have had poorer sales performance without CERN
41% would have had poorer technological performance
