Since its founding in 1954, CERN has been powered by the passion of scientists and engineers determined to push the boundaries of knowledge and technology in the quest to understand the universe. This drive has sparked groundbreaking innovations and continues to shape the future of science and society. But these achievements are more than just milestones. They are the result of relentless curiosity, bold collaboration, and a deep commitment to exploration. At CERN, innovation isn’t just a goal.
The 1st NGT Hackathon, held at CERN IdeaSquare from 7–11 April 2025, brought together more than 40 students and researchers from across the Next Generation Triggers (NGT) collaboration and 15 other institutes.
This event serves as a dynamic platform, bringing together all key actors involved within the ATTRACT phase 2 to showcase their achievements and impact. It underscores ATTRACT’s transformative role in fostering deep-tech innovation, bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and market-ready applications, and strengthening Europe’s global competitiveness.
