Using experimentation to boost University-Industry collaboration
Collaboration between universities and industry is essential for transforming academic research into practical innovations that can impact the real world. However, the strategies used to make these collaborations possible have often lacked rigorous testing. This has led to uncertainty about which approaches work best in helping researchers and businesses partner effectively.
ATTRACT: The Socioeconomic Studies showcase their conclusions at the SES Final workshop
The Socioeconomic Studies (SES) seek to enhance the conventional impact metrics and build upon them towards new insights on how to measure the potential of European Research Infrastructures and Innovation Ecosystems (ERI-IEs) like ATTRACT. The goal is to understand what works, why it works, and which mechanisms could be improved.
ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference: meet the 8 Socioeconomic Studies
ATTRACT serves as a catalyst for integrating science into society, transforming innovative ideas into concrete solutions for a better future. This initiative is a collaboration between major research infrastructures, industry leaders, and business experts, aiming to enhance people’s lives by developing new products, services, companies, and jobs.
New insights into Scientists’ Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy within the ATTRACT ecosystem
Nowadays, the commercialisation of scientific and technological innovations is crucial for economic and social advancement. However, one of the biggest challenges is transforming scientific discoveries into viable market products and services.
Collecting and sharing experiences and findings with the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation
As part of the experimental nature of the innovation activities at IdeaSquare, the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation (CIJ) was launched in 2016. A multidisciplinary publication, CIJ is devoted to the latest research in innovation experimentation, strategic innovation management, knowledge exchange and management, and innovation policy issues.

Gravity Play: A co-creation session on changing risks and policy innovation, via juggling and acrobatics with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre
When it comes to turning knowledge into policy, research shows that showing research doesn’t work. Inaction surrounds us. If we want to go beyond the status quo, we need to actively pursue breakthroughs. The design and implementation of policy development processes needs to deliberately open space for imagination. Given the gravity and complexity of changing risks, we must improve the candour, courage, and creativity of communication, building relationships, enhancing problem solving.
Innovation 4 Change 2023 edition
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.
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.
