Lithuanians at CERN IdeaSquare

16 Sept 2024, 09:00 → 20 Sept 2024, 18:00 Europe/Zurich

3162/1-K01 (CERN)

Christoph Schaefer (CERN), Laura Wirtavuori

Students from Vilnius and Kaunas universities come to IdeaSquare to widen their horizons and go on an imaginary adventure to a different planet. 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: Laura Wirtavuori (@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, walk around the Globe and cross the parking lot.
