1. Pangloss Lab: the open innovation laboratory for Greater Geneva Description: Pangloss Labs is composed of two non-profit associations; one located in France and one in Geneva, Switzerland. Both were founded in 2014 with the aim to create experimental laboratories, and to prototype activities across various sectors, called Pangloss Labs. At PanglossLab third-spaces and eco-fablabs are created and animated to support the development of local entrepreneurial activities. Visit to the FabLab where participants try out the equipment to understand the work of a FabLab. Activity at the Local Visit: Learning about the open innovation laboratory in an interactive manner Location of the local visit: SDG Solution Space venue (because Pangloss Lab is located in France) + AddictLab (refurbished bus outside the building).

3. Idea Square – CERN Description: IdeaSquare is a dedicated test facility at CERN that hosts detector R&D projects, and facilitates MSc student programs. Located in a technical hall (B3179) next to the Globe of Science and Innovation, it offers rapid prototyping facilities for innovation-related projects. It brings together CERN personnel, visiting students, and external project collaborators from the domains of research, technology development and education. The purpose of IdeaSquare is to bring together people to generate new ideas and work on conceptual prototypes in an open environment, and contribute to KT Group activities in helping to shape and improve them further, towards socially and globally relevant new product ideas and innovation.

IdeaSquare is an experiment itself, as it explores new ways to demonstrate the value of basic research. It aims at delivering innovation to society at a marginal cost, the activities being covered outside the CERN annual budget.

Activity at the Local Visit: The local visit is divided on two parts. In the first part from 15.30 – 17.00, the visitors participate in a co-creation workshop on the premises of Idea Square. In the second part of the visit, from 17.00 the visitors are taken on a tour of CERN, to ATLAS experiment - one of the four major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
