MINDSET

The aim of the project is to:

MINDSET uses Mission-Oriented Innovation (MOI) to tackle major challenges like climate change, housing, and skills development.

Through Regional MOI (RegMOI), global goals become local actions, using regional resources for real solutions.   By uniting governments, businesses, and scientists, MINDSET helps build greener, smarter, and more resilient communities.

Specific objectives are to:

• Prepare regional stakeholders from 3 NPA territories to introduce the novel concept of Regional Mission Orientated Innovation (Reg MOI) as a new way of driving innovation suitable to address societal challenges
• Test the effectiveness of RegMOI by applying it in the implementation of concrete missions addressing skills development, climate change and regional housing and public real estate challenges
• Create the conditions to integrate RegMOI as a new innovation method to address major societal challenges, where local/regional stakeholders are empowered and play a significant role aligned with supra-level missions
