EIT Climate-KIC Nordic Ideation Day I

EIT Climate-KIC Nordic's Ideation Day brings together and strengthens the Nordic climate action community. Cities, universities, start-ups and companies combine their knowledge and expertise to find solutions to climate challenges.

During this biannual event partners and other innovators come together to co-create innovative project ideas to tackle climate change. With a strong focus on partner collaboration, this Ideation Day enables participants to engage with others with common thematic interests in a quest for innovative solutions.

This edition is hosted by Lund University and made possible thanks to the support of Trivector, E.ON, Projektengagemang, RISE and City of Malmö.

Tracks and Challenges

Based on our collective expertise and EIT Climate-KIC priorities, this Ideation Day runs two tracks with their respective challenges. Track I Circular Economy in Basic Materials focuses on finding solutions to accelerate systemic change on circularity of plastics, metals and cement. Track II Policy and Organisational Innovations for Urban Transitions seeks innovations that support organisations transitioning towards a low-carbon society. Find more information on the event webpage.

Pitching and Awards

During the day participants work in interest-based groups on project ideas, which are then pitched in front of a jury. The best proposals will be awarded from a pot of EUR 150.000, which serves a starting point for further development of the innovative idea.

Who is the Nordic Ideation Day for?

The event is open to all employees of EIT Climate-KIC partners as well as current and future collaborators. This day is equally geared towards cities, companies and universities. Collaborative projects between these three stakeholder groups are strongly encouraged.

This is an excellent opportunity to get to know the EIT Climate-KIC Nordic community and co-create climate solutions with other experts and professionals.
