| CERN's edge AI data analysis techniques used to detect marine plastic pollution |
CERN’s expertise in data management is leveraged to combat marine plastic litter through the new EU project, Edge SpAIce.
The aim is to develop a specially designed on-board system for satellites that will make it possible to acquire and process high-resolution pictures using a Deep Neural Network through the “edge AI” approach, in which data is processed in near real-time directly on the satellite. |

| Future colliders and fusion reactors |
Following the collaboration agreement signed in November 2023 by CERN and members of EUROfusion - the European consortium of fusion research laboratories, the two organisations have reached a new milestone in scientific cooperation.
CERN's accelerator experts and EUROfusion's nuclear fusion specialists are now working jointly to develop innovative technologies for future colliders and nuclear fusion reactors, drawing on their respective unique competencies, in particular in the area of high field magnets. |

Throwback to the
Intellectual Property Day |
This year’s World Intellectual Property day explored how intellectual property (IP) fosters innovation and creativity, and its pivotal role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to shape our collective future.
At CERN, the pursuit of knowledge in particle physics and related technological developments continuously drive innovation, and IP is an essential part of it. |

Events
| Join the next HEPTrepreneurs episode! |
HEPTrepreneurs is the online series of events organised by HEPTech and GSI in collaboration with CERN dedicated to all members and partners of the network focusing on High Energy Physics Entrepreneurship.
On 9 July, Joris Jansens from HighTechXL will share his learnings, discuss building a Deep Tech Venture in 12 Months and more.
HighTechXL is a CERN Venture Connect partner, an entrepreneurship programme designed for visionary deep tech founders with the aim to provide them access to breakthrough CERN technologies and connect them with investors and incubators. |

| CERN at the Geneva Health Forum |
On 27-29 May, CERN took part in the Geneva Health Forum and presented the Global Health Workshop "Tackling global health challenges with deep tech” which will take place in October.
With contributions from Médecins Sans Frontières, HUG - Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève, Terre des Hommes, Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, and EATRIS, this workshop will be an exceptional opportunity to bring together a diverse community of professionals, ranging from policy makers to technical experts spanning various disciplines to delve into some of the most pressing global health challenges. CERN’s role will be to act as a broker to enable interaction between the multiple stakeholders with the aim of maximising the impact of technology on society.
CERN is fundraising in the first instance, to cover travel expenses for participants from Low- and Middle-Income countries to ensure that those most concerned have their say when designing solutions for global health. Later additional funding will be needed for the implementation of the successful projects.
Please contact CERN's Knowledge Transfer group if you wish to help in this mission.

| Promoting cutting-edge cancer research with ions at PTCOG |
In June, the industrial relations team (CERN, GSI, INFN) had a booth at the Annual PTCOG (Particle Therapy Cooperative Group) Conference in Singapore to promote HITRIplus, a multidisciplinary collaborative EU-funded project aiming to integrate an advance biophysics and medical research in cancer treatment with heavy ions.
The project's disruptive technologies could take ion therapy treatments to the next level as it would make particle therapy machines much more lightweight, compact and cost effective.
