| Future Circular Collider innovation and the economics of big science |
Two events in Brussels have highlighted the potential of the FCC to support new innovations and strengthen Europe’s global competitiveness.
The recently concluded FCC Innovation Study (FCCIS), which supports the ongoing FCC Feasibility Study, set up structures to enable collaboration by a worldwide community and also carried out studies to assess the development of various technical aspects required for the proposed future collider. Additionally, the launch of "The Economics of Big Science 2.0" book further emphasised the role of large-scale research infrastructures in driving societal and economic benefits. |

| CERN teams up with Luxembourg and the World Food Programme to tackle global hunger |
A new partnership that aims to use AI technology to address the issue of global hunger has received funding from CERN, the Government of Luxembourg, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).
Over two years, three use cases will be explored using CERN’s AI algorithms for weather modelling and prediction, as well as its expertise in distributed infrastructures, alongside LIST’s AI for Earth observation and crop modelling. The goal is to enhance WFP’s emergency response and development efforts. |

| Superconductivity: From CERN to industry and society |
|
In a new video, CERN scientist Amalia Ballarino explains how the advances in superconductivity that are essential for upgrading CERN’s particle accelerators can also support advances in healthcare, medical imaging, future low-emission aircrafts and sustainable energy systems.
An example of this is CERN’s collaboration with Airbus to study the potential of using superconducting technologies in the electrical distribution systems of future hydrogen-powered planes.
