This year’s World Intellectual Property (IP) day explores how intellectual property fosters innovation and creativity, and its pivotal role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to shape our collective future. At CERN, the pursuit of #knowledge in #particlephysics and related technological developments continuously drive #innovation, and IP is an essential part of it. Read the article for more insights on how the intellectual property rights, including the ones of CERN, contribute to respective #SDGs.

Today is the United Nations International Day of Girls in ICT! 🤗 Every year, on the fourth Thursday of April, International Girls in ICT Day is celebrated to raise awareness about the need for more representation of women in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector. To celebrate this day, we bring to you three #WomeninICT working in the CERN IT department: Carla Rieger, Eva Dafonte Perez, and Aleksandra Wardzinska. They reflect on how they were once #GirlsinICT and talk about how they ended up with a career in #ICT, giving a sneak peek into their future goals. #DidYouKnow that although women now fill 40% of high-skill occupations globally, their participation in ICT-related fields continues to be low?

Today’s we take a look back to last week’s #CERN70 event “The virtuous circle of knowledge and Innovation”. The event delved into the dynamic relationship between particle physics research and technological innovation. Would you like to know more on how CERN contributes to innovation through its cutting-edge technologies and know-how? Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eMjF7Ae3 

CMS releases #HiggsBoson discovery data to the public The CMS Collaboration has recently released, in electronic format, the combination of the measurements that contributed to establishing the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. This release coincides with the publication of the Combine software – the statistical analysis tool that CMS developed during the first run of #LHC, to search for the unique particle, which has since been adopted throughout the collaboration.

🌎 On this Earth Day, as we reflect on our responsibility to reduce plastics for the benefit of our society and all life on our planet, we are excited to introduce a new EU project called Edge SpAIce. It applies CERN’s AI technology to demonstrate an innovative way of monitoring the Earth’s ecosystems from space, and detect and track #plastic #pollution in our oceans. 🛰 Earth Observation (EO) to detect plastic litter and particle physics research have more in common than you might think. In both environments – whether capturing fleeting particle collisions or detecting transient traces of ocean plastics – rapid and accurate data analysis is paramount. With Agenium Space, EnduroSat, National Technical University of Athens, European Commission #EdgeAI #DataAnalysis #AI #EarthDay #Environment #PlanetVsPlastics #EndPlastic https://lnkd.in/eh4pSg2A 🌿 CERN actively strives to identify and develop technologies with the potential to contribute to environmental protection. External partners actively engaged in cleantech developments can benefit from CERN’s unique expertise to accelerate their innovation through the CERN Innovation Programme on Environmental Applications: kt.cern/environment/CIPEA

The third #CERN70 public event invited you to learn more about the applications of accelerators and detectors in #healthcare, energy, #aerospace, security, and more; about Bell’s inequalities and their pivotal role in the birth of #quantum information technologies. Watch the replay of “The virtuous circle of knowledge and innovation”. 👇

Join us LIVE today at 14.00 CEST for the re-stream of "The virtuous circle of knowledge and innovation", the third in a series of events organised to celebrate CERN’s 70th anniversary. #CERN70

The next-generation triggers for CERN detectors 💫 #DidYouKnow that #LHC experiments require high-performance event-selection systems – known as “triggers” – to filter the flow of data to manageable levels? The triggers pick collision events with distinguishing characteristics and make them available for #physics analyses. The recently launched Next-Generation Triggers project is set to remarkably increase the efficiency, sensitivity and modelling of CERN experiments. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/d_dXjjHq

#Quantum innovations ⚛️ White Rabbit is a technology developed at CERN to synchronise devices in the accelerators down to sub-nanoseconds, and solve the challenge of establishing a common notion of time across a network. Join us today 18 April, 19:30 CEST, to learn more about this and other quantum technologies in the third #CERN70 public event ‘The Virtuous Circle of Knowledge and Innovation’. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eYb2_7EP
