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.

Fusion Point IdeaSquare Planet programme: a new approach to innovation and problem-solving for the near future

Fusion Point IdeaSquare Planet programme: a new approach to innovation and problem-solving for the near future

The IdeaSquare Planet (i2Planet) pilot programme is a disruptive innovation course that seeks to elevate students’ knowledge, skills, and problem-solving abilities in connection with the Sustainable Development Goals, and to challenge their assumptions about the future. At its core, this approach hinges on a bold question: What if humanity were compelled to start anew on an entirely different planet? How could we make choices that prioritise sustainability?
