Description

Technologies for Social Innovation (TeSI)

is a project course where, in this first round, student teams and their instructors collaborate with researchers at CERN to discover novel solutions for the future of humankind. The projects are an elaborate mixture where societal, human-driven needs meet R&D&I technologies in detection and imaging from the ATTRACT project.

The project course is done as a collaboration between IED Barcelona, UPC, ESADE Barcelona and IdeaSquare.

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

When on CERN site, you can find the meeting venue IdeaSquare behind the Globe, across what is now the Science Gateway parking construction site. Walk past the Globe, through a gate in the fence, turn left, and you'll find IdeaSquare.

Internet

In order to get wifi access at CERN, you will need to register your laptop/mobile phone once you have arrived to CERN.

Registration

Please make sure to register to the event through the Registration tab in order to get your CERN access badge.
Once you have it in your mailbox, keep the activation code with you so you can print the badge at the reception upon your arrival.

Note: It is possible that small changes in the programme will be made in the meantime due to CERN personnel availability.
