CBI Final Showcase

Challenge-Based Innovation (CBI) is a flagship course of Fusion Point: it brought together Esade, IED Barcelona and UPC for the first time in 2014 and since then, it has been delivered annually in the fall semester. CBI originated and is grounded at CERN with the explicit goal to link CERN science, methods and expertise to addressing societal challenges. Fusion Point has developed its own unique version of the CBI course. Since 2017, the CBI challenges are formulated around the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

CBI 2020 is facing the Covid-19 pandemic head on! On December 11th at 11am 8 multidisciplinary student teams will be presenting the results of their 16-week innovation journey. Their functional prototypes are tackling some challenges instigated or accelerated by the current pandemic in the following areas: 1) Urban Mobility, 2) Education & Learning, 3) Remote Work and 4) Infodemic (Information Sharing & Validation).
