Dear students,

We are pleased to announce the CBI.ATTRACT program is now open: it allows students to explore the potential of new technologies developed by European research centers and experience how to transform these technologies into real innovations.

CBI.ATTRACT, starting in March 2023, is a 16-week program in which 5 multidisciplinary student teams investigate new cutting-edge technologies to identify their potential and develop new solutions of value for society, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals, and for people, thanks to the adoption of a human-centered approach. The program includes inspirational and interaction meetings with IdeaSquare, CERN’s Open Innovation laboratory, and a visiting period to work with the team of researchers who developed the technology object of the challenge.

The official language of the program is English. It requires a part-time commitment and it provides an international mobility grant for selected students. 

The program is structured as an Excellence Education Course at the University of Bologna and it provides for the recognition of ECTS as free-choice exams.
