New issue of the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation

New issue of the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation

The articles in this issue suggest that the future of effective innovation does not lie in the dominance of algorithmic efficiency over human cognition, nor in rejecting automation. Instead, success depends on a "Hybrid Intelligence" model where formal innovation processes are rigorously applied to speed up execution and reduce risk, while simultaneously leveraging linguistic and contextual diversity to create the "cognitive friction" necessary for high-quality decision-making.



Call for papers for a CIJ special issue on 'Co-creation'

Call for papers for a CIJ special issue on 'Co-creation'

In the scientific spirit of CERN, this call for papers focuses on: innovation through co-creation. Across science, industry, culture and civil society, urgent and complex problems increasingly demand approaches that move beyond disciplinary silos, top-down management, or one-size-fits-all solutions. Co-creation offers a way of working that brings together diverse perspectives, distributes agency, and produces outcomes that are richer, more equitable and potentially more sustainable.

Using experimentation to boost University-Industry collaboration

Sara García Arteagoitia, coordinator of the NEXT project

Collaboration between universities and industry is essential for transforming academic research into practical innovations that can impact the real world. However, the strategies used to make these collaborations possible have often lacked rigorous testing. This has led to uncertainty about which approaches work best in helping researchers and businesses partner effectively.



New insights into Scientists’ Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy within the ATTRACT ecosystem

New insights into Scientists’ Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy within the ATTRACT ecosystem

Nowadays, the commercialisation of scientific and technological innovations is crucial for economic and social advancement. However, one of the biggest challenges is transforming scientific discoveries into viable market products and services.



Collecting and sharing experiences and findings with the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation

As part of the experimental nature of the innovation activities at IdeaSquare, the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation (CIJ) was launched in 2016. A multidisciplinary publication, CIJ is devoted to the latest research in innovation experimentation, strategic innovation management, knowledge exchange and management, and innovation policy issues.
