Experiments necessitate many hard skills, such as physical understanding of the process, but also a bundle of other skills like know-how in instrumentation, hard- and software and strong teamwork capabilities.
It is to give these skills to students –classically difficult to obtain during studies– that the 4th European Physical Society Technology and Innovation Group's (TIG) Maker Event for Science, Technology and Interfaces was held at IdeaSquare.
Fabiola Gianotti, Director General of CERN, together with John Elkann, CEO of Exor, and other jury members, awarded the winners of the 2023 edition of Innovation 4 Change, an educational programme developed by the Collège des Ingénieurs (CDI) & CERN's innovation space, IdeaSquare.
Jennifer Cham is a senior user experience designer in the Business Computing Group of the Finance and Administrative Processes Department.
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.
The culmination of three years of Crowd4SDG was showcased during the Final Conference on 17 March, which delivered the results of Crowd4SDG and demonstrated the potential of citizen science for monitoring the SDGs.

How will the future be created? How do we prepare for the unplannable? And how to manage crises? Opening CERN’s innovation knowledge to different industries can help them learn from the organization's experience and explore new methodologies to tackle universal and relevant challenges for the future.
IdeaSquare is a close and natural partner of CERN’s Knowledge Transfer Group (KT), whose mandate it is to maximise the impact of CERN’s technologies on society.
Last week we welcomed 35 students from the School on Precision Oncology of ESI to introduce how CERN’s work can benefit #healthcare.
The students heard from @MarkusNordberg on how CERN IdeaSquare can help accelerate ideas through collaboration, R&D prototyping, and experimental innovation.
On 17th November, IdeaSquare is organising an FPGA hands-on workshop aimed at members of the CERN community under the precious instruction of Adriaan Rijllart. This free of charge workshop will allow 9 people to gain hands-on experience of FPGA programming and the use of LabVIEW for scientific purposes.
