CERN IdeaSquare celebrated its tenth anniversary on 8 November 2024. The celebration, open to the CERN community and significant people from IdeaSquare's history, invited attendees to explore the decade-long journey of the innovation space, as well as look forward to its exciting future.
Since 2014, this vibrant hub for science and innovation has provided unique facilities for rapid prototyping, education programmes, workshops and hackathons. It is used by the CERN collaborations, CERN Knowledge Transfer projects and EU initiatives linked to the UN sustainable development goals.
"It's so simple, it's difficult to understand," said Chris Hartley, the head of CERN's IPT department, in his opening speech.
