Can living organisms become resistant to all viruses? How do we detect even the smallest, earliest stage cancer? What health-related data should we be sharing with one another? This year, CERN Sparks! dives headfirst into what future technology for health looks like, how we get there and what ethical questions we will need to answer along the way.
CERN has been involved in the health applications of particle physics research since the 1970s. Sparks! uses this as a starting point to open up the conversation to a wide range of health professionals from different fields. Bringing together fantastic minds is our speciality, and this year’s podcast, talk line-up and forum are no exception.
What is Sparks!?
Sparks! is a series of podcasts, talks and forum events organised around a particular theme of interest to CERN and society. The aim is to spark connections and diversity of thought by sharing perspectives from multidisciplinary experts, and to inspire our audiences.
