Collecting and sharing experiences and findings
Since its launch in 2017, the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation (CIJ) has filled a gap that previously existed in the publication of innovation research. Today, CIJ is an essential tool for the sharing of evidence-based results related to interdisciplinary experimental innovation, including process methodologies, educational approaches, knowledge exchange, management and policy. It seeks to broaden horizons regarding this field of research, and open the door for both those at IdeaSquare, including its students, and external contributors to make their ideas and insights more widely known.
In this period of time, CIJ has become a publication of reference for thought-provoking, contemporary and experimental innovation research. With CIJ, IdeaSquare aims to harvest and share experimental innovation knowledge using a fresh and varied approach.
In 2023, CIJ added an extra issue per year, moving from 2 to 3.
