At the opening of the EIT Education and Skills Days conference on 15–16 October in Brussels, one sentence set the tone: “Resilience is not built in factories.” It captured the urgent need for soft-skills training and framed two days of discussion on how to build these capabilities in Europe’s innovation ecosystem. CERN Ideasquare’s Ole Werner was there representing TECH2X to find out more.
IdeaSquare – the innovation space at CERN, received the 2025 cohort of students from the TechFoward Programme – an advanced training course that connects academic research with market innovation. 6 multidisciplinary teams from UNIBO and associated partner universities from the Emilia-Romagna region, work on innovative technologies developed by researchers from the universities involved, exploring their potential and identifying new strategic applications for the market.
We are thrilled to announce that the EIT Higher Education Initiative has awarded the TECH2X project funding as part of their Call for Proposals 2024.
