Lithuanians at IdeaSquare

18 Sept 2023, 09:00 → 22 Sept 2023, 18:00 Europe/Zurich

3162/1-K01 (CERN)

Aurelijus Rinkevicius (Vilnius University (LT)), Christoph Schaefer (CERN), Laura Wirtavuori

Students from Vilnius and Kaunas universities come to IdeaSquare to widen their horizons and work on the capstone projects of Vilnius students. What happens when you start to push the boundaries, think radically, and challenge yourself to go beyond? How to look at the impact of a project, and what are the different types of values a project can bring?

Students will work in mixed teams, without forgetting visiting CERN.

For more information, please contact: Christoph Schaefer (@cern.ch)

Directions on how to get to CERN you can find here: https://home.cern/directions 

IdeaSquare is located next to the Globe visitor parking lot, to reach there form the tram and CERN reception, walk around the Globe and cross the parking lot.

For getting access to CERN, please register to the event.
