IdeaSquare Dedicated location at CERN that hosts detector upgrade/R&D projects

and facilitates MSc-level student projects that also include a direct connection with Society

Currently, ATLAS has two EU-funded projects (TALENT, EDUSAFE) and CMS two suitable initiatives for these purposes. Later on, others may wish also to join

Testing the concept for ATTRACT-initiative (www.attract-eu.org)

At present, IdeaSquare hosts and facilitates the 2nc Challenge Based Innovation course (CBI) for MSc-level, cross-disciplinary student teams interacting with researchers at CERN, with a human-centric approach

When IdeaSquare is not in full use, it can also host short innovation events such as Hackathons (e.g. Tribeca, Port, HEAD), or contribute to special schools (e.g. OpenLab summer school?)

Activities are self-financed, CERN offers the basic infrastructure

IdeaSquare is an innovation experiment by itself; first experiences to be reported to CERN management in late 2015/early 2016

Structure of the Programme Today

• The 1st hour consists of short presentations– Welcome and Intro (Markus, Marzio)– Greetings from Aalto University (Eetu)– Short intro to planned R&D activities in IdeaSquare (Marzio)– Short intros to Talent (Heinz) and Edusafe projects (Olga)– Intro to CBI (Tuuli, Joona)– Intro to the layout of the building (Harri)

• 2nd hour, for those who can stay– Coffee and biscuits (!), sandwich lunch at 12.00– Talent and Edusafe present their work– CBI students demonstrate principles of rapid prototyping– Recent Port hackathon results are at display

• Round of (same) presentations at 09.00, 11.00, 13.00, 16.00• Reggio-Emilia and CERN collaboration announcement at 15.00 –

welcome!• 16.30 Bus transport from B33 to CMS for those who have signed up• 19.15 Bus transport from B33 to Dinner for those who have signed up
