CIRCUIT VOICES! Putting People at the Centre of the Green Transition
During our Kick-off meeting, we had the opportunity to discuss with Pamela Bartar, a Senior Researcher and Leading Manager, and Daniela Fuchs, a Senior Researcher, at the Centre for Social Innovation, Vienna (ZSI GmbH).
Describe CIRCUIT in three words
Collaboration, Mutual Learning and Transformation
Beyond the tech, why is the human element so crucial for the transition to climate neutrality?
Technology can support our lifestyle, but it does not design it. In the end, it is up to us which kinds of practices we adopt and which kinds of solutions we build into our routines to actually move towards climate neutrality and greater sustainability.
What does co-creation actually look like in practice?
Co-creation in CIRCUIT means bringing diverse stakeholders to the same table. This includes residents, city authorities, researchers, entrepreneurs and innovators. They all have the aim to jointly design solutions that reflect real needs and local realities.
What are the CIRCUIT Impact Cafés and why are they a crucial milestone?
The CIRCUIT Impact Cafés are temporary interactive spaces designed for the eight clusters, enabling dialogue, mutual learning and co-design. They help connect knowledge with action, ensuring that the project results can create lasting impact in communities across Europe.
