Where’s the right place to start? And once you’ve started, how do you get your idea funded at the earliest stage? 
\r\n
\r\nIn collaboration with Conception X, CERN's Entrepreneurship team invites you to meet and learn from academic founders who have successfully translated their research into companies creating real-world impact.  You’ll hear first-hand about how they navigated the transition from scientist to founder, how they decided when their research was ready to build on, the strategies they used to secure their first grant or investment, and more.
\r\n
\r\nThe session will also include a short presentation of CERN Entrepreneurship Academy, our entrepreneurship training programme for CERN members of personnel.
\r\nIf you're a researcher wondering whether now is the right time to build something, come and find out.
\r\nFor one night only, we are bringing together an ambitious community of entrepreneurial scientists, researchers and academic founders at CERN.

Despite its apparent familiarity, the underlying physics of bubble nucleation remains poorly understood. The challenge lies at the microscopic level. Classical nucleation theories treat boiling as a collection of isolated, independent bubbles growing on a surface, failing to capture the complex reality of actual engineering surfaces — which consist of dense arrays of interacting nucleation sites. Using custom-engineered silicon chips with precisely spaced microcavities, we isolate and systematically control these microscopic \"neighborhoods.\" By uncovering how the spacing between neighboring sites governs bubble nucleation, coalescence, and stability, we gain a new understanding of how microscopic interactions ultimately drive macroscale thermal performance — paving the way for safer, more efficient cooling technologies.
