1. 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

3. 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

4. UN Goals

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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.

8. 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)
