The CBI@Basque Country University Araba Campus program offers 30 UPV/EHU Arabacampus students with an entrepreneurship mind-set; a unique opportunity to join in the day-to-day work of research teams participating in challenges at “Design the Future” CERN IdeaSquare Online Workshop.

 

WHEN WILL THE PROGRAM BE HELD?

​​​​During a two day online workshop, December 4th and 18th.



INTRODUCTION TO THE WORKSHOP

​​​​We live in a highly interconnected and accelerated society. More than ever-experienced, even small events produce large, global and highly unpredictable consequences that are non-linearly amplified. Moreover, if these events develop exponentially as we are experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the many issues that this pandemic has exposed is that a linear way of thinking is no longer valid. Our future as humankind requires replacing our traditional thinking archetypes and adopting non-linear and systemic approaches. Only in this way, we would be able to design scenarios for anticipating as much as possible the formidable challenges facing our Planet and us in the coming decades.

In this workshop we will take the first steps, so…be ready for embracing the seemingly impossible!
