Knowledge Institutions Catalysing Local Actions for Net Zero (CATALYSE)
CATALYSE envisions fostering climate neutral cities by moving beyond fragmented experimentation and towards mission-orientated policies that are well embedded within local contexts. By strengthening the transformative role of Knowledge Institutions (KI) as hubs and trustful actors within mission-oriented innovation ecosystems, the project aims to connect diverse stakeholders, scale social innovation, and enhance collaboration across Europe. Ultimately, CATALYSE seeks to create inclusive problem-solution spaces that bridge local needs and global challenges, paving the way for sustainable, socially innovative, and democratically legitimized transitions towards net-zero cities.
