The ATTRACT project was presented at the TIPP 2023

ATTRACT project

During the last edition of the 6th Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics (TIPP 2023), the ATTRACT project was presented by Pablo García Tello who shared some of the lessons learnt during the two phases of this project that could prove insightful for understanding the process of managing R&D&I Innovation Ecosystems.



CERN’s Green Village and Probono’s Green Building Neighbourhoods – Making Green Greener!

Probono Green Village workshop

CERN Green Village initiative and the Probono H2020 Project share a common goal of creating sustainable and energy-efficient built environments and demonstrate their commitment to supporting t



Discover how researchers at IdeaSquare are contributing to open innovation in social sciences

The Open Innovation in Science Research Conference 2023 took place May 8-10 in Vienna, Austria. Started in 2019, the OIS Research Conference aims to bring together scholars from across disciplines to discuss the role and value of openness and collaboration in science.

IdeaSquare opened its doors for the CERN Community: the start of a new network of people prototyping at CERN?

Last February, IdeaSquare, the innovation space at CERN, opened its doors for a two days event for the internal community. The event offered visitors a unique opportunity to discover our rapid prototyping and multipurpose facilities and to learn how they could get involved.

A poetic transformation of the universe inside IdeaSquare

«Throughout history, human beings across the world lived with gardens in different ways upon their environmental and cultural factors. For instance, Japanese gardens poetically transform the essence of the universe embracing humans as a part of nature.» – Dr. Yuri Tanaka, Prof. Kosuke Bando, Ms. Zhuoan Dai, Ms. Junyi Guo, Ms. Mao Hasegawa, Mr. Joh Yamasaki

ATTRACT showroom: meet the funded projects

ATTRACT showroom: meet the funded projects

The ATTRACT Showroom, a virtual platform which contains the most relevant information about each of the funded projects during phase 2, has just been launched. The showroom will serve as the central hub for all 36 funded projects: the 18 R&D&I projects in which researchers will have to consider how to advance the proofs-of-concept from phase 1 into something that is far closer to a marketable product and that generates new business for citizens.



CERN Courier featured IdeaSquare as part of CERN's research and innovation ecosystem

CERN LHC

CERN Courier features IdeaSquare as part of CERN's unique innovation ecosystem.

CERN hosts an ecosystem like no other in the world, from equipment procurement to knowledge-transfer initiatives. IdeaSquare has a special place there since it represents the "fuzzy front end" of innovation.



Cinzia Da Via: “An ecosystem like ATTRACT is essential for Europe”

Cinzia Da Via: “An ecosystem like ATTRACT is essential for Europe”

ATTRACT Q&A

ATTRACT offers an opportunity to study the construction of an innovation ecosystem. In this regard, Cinzia Da Vià, ATTRACT R&D&I committee Co-chair and Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester, reflects on how the environments involved in that ecosystem are the basics for the economy.



Particle Post: Letters from the Universe

cosmic letterbox

Here is another project which highlights the discourse between art and science to inspire you to think - and feel - outside the box. Our long-term resident Umut Kose collaborated with three other artists, Yuri Tanaka, Pavle Dinulović, and Chris Bruckmayr on this sensory piece of art that is powered by the infinitely small.
