Instead, success depends on a "Hybrid Intelligence" model where formal innovation processes are rigorously applied to speed up execution and reduce risk, while simultaneously leveraging linguistic and contextual diversity to create the "cognitive friction" necessary for high-quality decision-making.

The articles in this issue suggest that the future of effective innovation does not lie in the dominance of algorithmic efficiency over human cognition, nor in rejecting automation.

This meeting on the work package "Education and training for deep-tech innovation capacity building" aimed to improve the quality of tech-driven innovation education at HEIs.

TECH2X also offers several initiatives to strengthen partnerships, aligning strategic interests to move deep-tech potential out of the laboratory and into an environment where it can be taken-up and applied by those most willing and capable of capturing its value.

The actions and activities in TECH2X are designed to strengthen innovation and entrepreneurship capacity at institutional level, fostering pathways between challenge-based innovation courses that are technology driven, and entrepreneurship capacity building to move forward promising projects.

#TECH2X – Technology for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Excellence is a 2-year project which aims to boost the innovation and entrepreneurial capacity of the consortium’s HEIs to foster deep tech talent and respond to the need to transition towards the 4th generation university model.

Among the elements the teams are working on, we can find, for example, the correlator trigger, the particle flow in L1T scouting workflow, or even the orchestration systems.

Happy hacking!

#NextGenTriggers

For the 2nd NextGenTriggers Hackathon, members of @cmsexperiment.bsky.social and @atlasexperiment.bsky.social divide into teams and meet frequently to discuss how each solves one problem and how they'll try to solve the next.

Such questions are strategically important for the future of fundamental science, which is increasingly often big science.

What, then, will be the economic impact of building a gravitational-wave detector hundreds of metres underground in some abandoned mines? What will be the societal impact of several kilometres of lasers and mirrors?

Most physicists would have no expectation that a deeper knowledge of gravitational waves will have any practical usage in the foreseeable future.

The workshop brings together CERN researchers, Swiss academic makerspaces, FabLab members, and students to jointly explore hybrid collaboration models.

The format is based on three parallel groups of about five people each, with each group exploring a single scenario—allowing for up to three different scenarios and around 15 participants in total.
