CERN theoretical physicist Luis Álvarez-Gaumé and Teresa Rodrigo, Professor at the University of Cantabria, take part in the lecture series “LHC Run 2: Driving Technology and Tackling Open Questions” to reflect on the relationship between fundamental research and its technological applications.
The session challenges the apparent opposition between basic and practical science and shows how both reinforce each other in fields such as particle physics and accelerator development. Following the discovery of the Higgs boson, the speakers review the theories, possible new findings and instruments that could advance our understanding of matter, while also highlighting the industrial applications and social impact arising from this research.

The BBVA Foundation and CERN jointly organise the lecture series “LHC Run 2: Driving Technology and Tackling Open Questions”. The programme explores the new phase of operation of the Large Hadron Collider, its scientific goals and associated technological developments, while also examining its contribution to innovation, training and international collaboration.
