CATALYST Hub: Digital platform designed to facilitate cooperation
Digital platform designed to facilitate cooperation
The CATALYST Hub is led by F6S Innovation and is structured into three key areas:
- Learning,
- Funding and
- Collaboration.
It aims to facilitate the identification of funding opportunities, collaborations for researchers to increase the R&D investments.
It fosters stronger connections between academia and industry, helping to bridge the gap between research outputs and market needs.
The Learning Hub section is designed to support higher education institutions on their transformational pathways. It provides a dynamic space for learning, knowledge exchange, and the sharing of inspirational practices—aiming to catalyze positive change in research, innovation, and institutional development. Watch all recorded webinars and explore the successful examples shared by the project partners while discussing best practices, research findings, and actionable strategies for institutional transformation.
In the Funding Opportunities section of the CATALYST Hub, you’ll find a wide range of funding sources related to sustainability in education, research, and campus operations within higher education institutions. The platform allows you to filter and explore diverse financial instruments designed to support your initiatives and help secure the investments needed for your transformation journey.
The Cooperation section of the CATALYST Hub gives multiple opportunities to connect and collaborate with different institutions or likeminded individuals. Here you can:
- Find services to transform your HEI (explore the acceleration services provided by the CATALISI partners);
- Connect with CATALISI Community of Practice and reach out to members open to collaboration;
- Get inspired by other HEI transformation initiatives shared by our network of synergy projects;
- Explore research outcomes from our university partners that are available for business commercialization. Current opportunities are listed on the partners’ pages on the F6S platform.
