CERN Accelerating science

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

Gravity Play: A co-creation session on changing risks and policy innovation, via juggling & 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.

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

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.
