CBI.ATTRACT program: pioneering solutions for global challenges
The CBI.ATTRACT is an international Open Innovation program aimed at societal innovation and inspired by cutting-edge detection and imaging technologies developed under the ATTRACT initiative. Its purpose is to foster an entrepreneurial mindset, utilizing innovative technologies with a mission to address societal challenges aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A resource management board game created by students inspired by IdeaSquare Planet
If you were to travel to an exoplanet, how would your crew manage their resources? A board game developed by students at IdeaSquare aims to tackle this question with fun thought experiments and quick decision-making!

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.
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.
