IdeaSquare Planet presented in the DFGN's latest Deep Dive focusing on circular economy principles in educational practices
Discover IdeaSquare Planet, a transformative learning experience developed at CERN IdeaSquare, as presented in the Design Factory Global Network's latest Deep Dive focusing on circular economy principles in educational practices.
With such an approach, we push students to think bigger and bolder on adventures that have no right answer and no clear framework to follow. It hinges on a question: What if humanity were compelled to start anew on an entirely different planet? How could we make choices that prioritise sustainability?
TECH2X course of TH Mannheim at CERN IdeaSquare
From March 29th to April 2nd, the Tech Driven Innovation course (TDX) from the Technical University of Applied Sciences Mannheim (TH Mannheim) visited CERN IdeaSquare and participated in our flagship learning activity, i2Planet. Students from five disciplines, as well as participants from the University of Tampere, formed an interdisciplinary group tasked with creating a “Better Earth” in 2050 on Planet Y. Divided into four sub-teams (Governance, Healthcare, Energy, Education), they worked together to build a functioning society for 10,000 individuals.
TECH2X consortium meets in Barcelona to advance deep-tech innovation in higher education

TECH2X at EIT Education & Skills Days 2025
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.
