Idea Circle Dinner Discussion #8:


CERN’s Clubhouse for Open Innovation – The Mind-Expanding Experiments Studied at Building 3179

Abstract:

Ever had a burning desire to improve the state of the world? A project idea that lacks execution? Sudden urge to 3D-print, solder, assemble or disassemble stuff? Organize a cooking workshop? And why is there a Routemaster Double-Decker London Bus parked in a storage facility at CERN? These are some of the topics that will be discussed at ICDD#8 on 20th June. Situated between ATLAS and the SOCAR next to Globe, Building 3179 hosts one of CERN’s more social experiments. Building bridges between fundamental science and societal impact, IdeaSquare hosts 4 R&D projects, a few dozen hackathons, workshops and other events, as well as over 200 students a year on design sprints.
