CBI Fusion Point 2023 - First Visit

The first fall students from Esade, IED Barcelona, and UPC, arrived at IdeaSquare to focus on challenges around water and air pollution. They are digging into these societal challenges to try to find efficient and implementable solutions for reducing air pollutants, microplastics in oceans or reducing our carbon emissions footprint, tackling SDG 3.9 "Reduce illnesses and death from hazardous chemicals and pollution", SDG 11.6 "Reduce environmental impact of cities", SDG 14.1 "Reduce marine pollution" and SDG 14.3 "Reduce ocean acidification". During the week, the interdisciplinary student teams visited CERN experiments and SDG Solution Space and explored previous prototyping journeys while working on theirs.
