School on Precision Oncology of ESI
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.
Innovation4Change - 7th edition
60 young managers, scientists and storytellers present their visions for the future!
On Monday, June 27, the seventh edition of Innovation4Change, the Impact Innovation program organized by the Collège des Ingénieurs Italia, CERN IdeaSquare and the Politecnico di Torino, came to a close.
This year's winner was Team Ferrovie dello Stato Italiano, with their Greensect waste processing system. Second place went to Team UNICRI, while third place was shared by Team Movyon and Team CNH Industrial.
EduMind – innovative learning tool for autistic children designed by IdeaSquare students
Students were tasked with taking a CERN technology and applying it to a real-world social problem. Their application could vastly improve learning outcomes for autistic children.
VITO engineers, based at ISOLDE, use IdeaSquare to make custom toolkit
The strong magnetic field means standard steel components cannot be used.

TERAPET — from CERN physics to cancer therapy
What happens when we apply fundamental science to real-world challenges?
Today, TERAPET is a Swiss medical technology start-up, but the idea did not start off in the business world. Two of the three founders had the idea when working on proton beam technology here at CERN.
FPGA programming with LabVIEW - hands-on workshop
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.
ISOLDE
Researchers from ISOLDE used our facilities to make many different things. Using the water jet cutter we were able to quickly and cheaply create non-magnetic brass tools for their highly magnetic equipment.
CLEAR Prototyping
During 3 days in November 2021, IdeaSquare was able to provide 3D printers and access to the machine shop to members of CLEAR (CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research) for a prototyping project under the skillful supervision of Oscar Lilleløkken, workshop supervisor.
