Our Goal Exploit disruptive technologies to create solutions to address the SDGs Consider not only the proposition’s potential impact but how it could be politically and economically sustainable Share our knowledge and propositions and inspire others to tackle the SDGs through an exhibition/symposium Create meaningful plan and potential partnerships to take the concepts further

WEEK AT CERN Provide an Introduction to CERN and IdeaSquare, and gain an overview of the most exciting technologies emerging from CERN Develop a deeper understanding of the UN’s SDGs and the role disruptive innovation and new technologies could play Undertake a series of design sprints to identify opportunities for CERN’s technologies to deliver meaningful solutions for the SDGs Form teams and decide on the SDG(s) and the technologies you will explore further when your return to the RCA

UN Goals

Afternoon’s Workshop Three minute presentations from each of you on assigned SDG (The challenge, scale, stakeholders, progress, targets) Prioritisation Exercise: Each person can vote for their three favourites Team formation (Ideally groups of three) and preference(s) based in interest, experience and priorities Working time for teams to refine preferences followed by 3 minute presentations from each team on goals NOTE: IDENTIFY PREFERENCE BUT KEEP OPTIONS OPEN

KEY DATES PROJECT KICK OFF: TODAY VISIT TO CERN FOR KT BRIEFING: 9 – 13 Oct INTERIM PRESENTATION TO CERN: 4 – 5 Dec FINAL PRESENTATION AND UK/SWISS SYMPOSIUM: End of January

Relevant Technologies by sector Vacuum Transport e.g. Hyperloop (Elon Musk) Magnetic Field Mag Levitation for Transportation Electric Motors at all scales from nano-scale to cars, to prosthetic Super-conductivity Energy Distribution (From the solar panels in the Sahara to distribution of power across Africa to Europe Data Processing Deep Learning – Education, Health, Society - Security and Safety, risk analysis Proton Beam (Mini LHC) Health care and medical imaging High Performance Detectors Medical Imaging / CT Scanning Internet of Things (sensors) – from embedded to personal to home, to community, to the city, to planetary Precision farming, irrigation and scanning from space as well as on the ground (Nano Satellites) Detectors plus drones Access confined areas – infrastructure, disasters relief and sensing radiation, temp, pressure, contaminants, particulates, etc.

Exponential Disruption Exponential growth means it not only grows fast, when it hits it, it hits exponentially hard Exponential issues affecting the way we say contaminate our planet, its the speed as well as the scale of the impact The challenge of green solutions is that they need to catch up with those issues growing exponentially – so the lag is also an exponential function Tech is developing exponentially but that means our capacity to exploit it has to grow exponentially too (Capacity issues) Consequences: Social Impact - Decoupling between economic growth driven by productivity and the sharing of wealth We have decoupled growth in personal pay from overall economic growth Then impact of technologies AI/Robotics/Data Science will impact employment of professional and managerial classes (and that affects tax revenues raised that support public service delivery)
