Living on the edge: limits and frontiers as the engine of innovation
The papers collected in this issue of the CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation do not merely describe innovation; they map its geography. They do not describe a safe, linear process; they describe a tension between opposing forces. Collectively, they suggest that innovation is an act of "boundary spanning"—a persistent effort to navigate the cognitive, structural, and institutional frontiers that separate scientific inquiry from societal impact.
