2. Why are we here?

Markus Nordberg (CERN)

01/04/2020, 09:00

An excursion through ideas behind fundamental physics transformed society. What is next? What is the mind-set at CERN?

3. Non-linear thinking: When exponential is not enough

Pablo Garcia Tello (CERN)

01/04/2020, 11:00

What is exponential? What does it mean? Is it sufficient to think exponentially for tomorrow’s challenges?

4. Thinking in New Boxes

Creativity, it is said, demands the ability to unshackle ourselves from conventional ways of thinking, to “think outside the box.” But we need to go a step further. Once outside the box, we need to construct a new box or boxes (that is, new intellectual frameworks or models) to help us structure our thinking. Only once we have done so can we generate truly game-changing ideas.

5. Does big and complex mean disruptive?

01/04/2020, 14:00

What is truly disruptive? Is a big complex airplane disruptive? The participants will design a commercial aircraft, ideate new business models around it and pitch them.

How can we understand scalability if our planet is diverse? Can science and technology help?

12. Scaling the Planet
