MOSAIC is a EU-funded project which aims to study, prove and assess that taking on big societal challenges, such as leading big cities towards climate neutrality, can be made possible and enhanced by actively involving all parts of the quadruple helix (science, policy, industry and society) through some methodological approaches.

By capitalizing on the wide range of co-creation experiences, emerging from the Horizon 2020 European funding programmes, MOSAIC classifies and identifies elements of best co-creation practice. MOSAIC will work to transform this into a collection of elements suitable for mission-oriented open innovation settings. To do so, it will perform an analysis of relevant experiences towards open innovation, which will be translated into approaches targeted for the mission approach.  

Pilot actions in a group of selected cities committed to the climate-neutral and smart cities mission will test MOSAIC’s methodological approach and research actions throughout the project.
