ATTRACT Q&A

ATTRACT offers an opportunity to study the construction of an innovation ecosystem. In this regard, Cinzia Da Vià, ATTRACT R&D&I committee Co-chair and Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester, reflects on how the environments involved in that ecosystem are the basics for the economy.



Prototyping profile: Inspection robot for the CMS' cavern

Inspection robot for the LHC

CERN operates the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) the largest particle accelerator ever built. Four main experiments were established on its circumference with the purpose of resolving major scientific enigmas. The general-purpose detector CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) is one of these experiments.
