CBI-FP: a decade of facing real-life societal challenges
The Challenge Based Innovation programme by Fusion Point (CBI-FP) is a collaborative initiative that links research, education, and scientific expertise to address real societal challenges aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using cutting-edge technologies. This year marks a decade since the initiation of CBI in Barcelona, where the program has engaged over 400 students from 20 different nationalities.
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.

Leaving a footprint that matters
At IdeaSquare we believe in sustainability as a cross-cutting concept that should be ingrained in everything in life —people, economies, resources, innovation. Following this proposition, most of our projects intrinsically align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Our 6 working areas highlight this commitment to the pressing needs of today’s world, while helping CERN’s fundamental research contribute to a better society.
Re-designing a battery recollection container for CERN: when IdeaSquare alumni help with the laboratory recycling challenges
A team made up of former students of IdeaSquare worked on a surprising challenge: re-designing a battery recollection container for CERN. The project recently completed the prototype validation phase and is entering production.

Reflecting on 40 Years of EU Research: analysing future frontiers in science and innovation
This year, the European Union commemorates 40 years since the launch of its first Framework Programme (FP) for research. To mark this milestone, Science|Business hosted its public annual Network conference gathering global leaders in science, technology, and innovation to discuss the achievements of the FPs, their future directions, and the role of science and technology in shaping the next four decades.
Launching a new online writing clinic for the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation (CIJ)
We are happy to announce a new recurrent online workshop to guide authors in the writing of their articles for the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation (CIJ), and to answer their questions.

Prototype profile: Design and validation of a safe mechatronic system for the handling of radioactive sources
The LHC tunnel is a highly radioactive environment during the operation of the machine.
Four thousand Beam Loss Monitors (BLMs) are placed along the magnets to ensure no radiation escape. It is essential to verify the proper operation of each of these BLMs before operation to ensure safety.
IdeaSquare accelerating social impact from CERN's new campus
With the Science Gateway running since October 2023, IdeaSquare —located only a quick 5-minute walk away— will now be organically granted more visibility.
