Description

IdeaSquare Planet, or i2P for short, is a novel methodology developed at CERN IdeaSquare to enable those brave enough to tap deep into their creativity. Participants are encouraged to aim at solving complex problems applying a systems-thinking approach, using future thinking as a tool, and being inspired by the way physicists and engineers work at CERN. Contrary to what some might expect from a course held at CERN, we are not expecting you to be physicists or engineers – we truly believe that for change to be made, multidisciplinary discourse is required. As a cherry on top of the cake, visiting the CERN site is of course included.

Welcome to your interplanetary adventure!

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

When on CERN site, find your way to the car park behind the Globe. IdeaSquare is there, towards West (France). Google map is here.

For registering your laptop/mobile phone for wifi access at CERN, please connect to the CERN visitor wifi. You will receive a code as a text message. Your connection will be valid for a week. You will need to register each device separately.
