Description

Challenge Based Innovation (CBI) is a project course where multidisciplinary student teams and their instructors collaborate with people at CERN to discover novel solutions for the future of humankind. The projects are an elaborate mixture where societal, human-driven needs meet systemic innovation approaches. 
In this edition, we incorporate IdeaSquare's new flagship program: IdeaSquare Planet (i2Planet) during the 2-week intensive.

In CBI A3, is led by Swinburne University of Technology, and features students from Hochschule Mannheim (Germany), Pace University (USA) and Swinburne University of Technology (Australia) working in teams to create and prototype ideas for the future(s).
