Seven institutions, five countries, one goal

CATALIS brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of research institutions from across the Northern Periphery and Arctic, each contributing specific expertise to the project. Luleå University of Technology (LTU, Sweden) leads the project and contributes expertise in freeze-thaw durability and low-carbon concrete mix design, drawing on its central role in both Ar2CorD and OFFwind. UiT — The Arctic University of Norway leads WP2 and manages the Narvik harbour field station, where samples will be placed and monitored under real Arctic outdoor conditions. Novia University of Applied Sciences (Finland) leads WP1 and is responsible for the cross-project synthesis report and practitioner brief, translating technical findings into accessible guidance for infrastructure owners and authorities. The University of Tampere (TAU, Finland) contributes expertise in icephobic and anti-corrosion coating technologies developed under OFFwind, directly informing the Narvik pilot. SINTEF Narvik (Norway) brings advanced expertise in ice-structure interaction modelling and supports the contextualisation of pilot observations and synthesis findings. The University of the Faroe Islands (UFI) leads WP3, coordinating the Transnational Arctic Durability Network, stakeholder interviews, joint roadmap, and the final public event. The University of Iceland (HI) joins as a new partner, bringing Atlantic and Nordic context to the synthesis and feasibility work, and strengthening the network's geographic reach. Together the partnership covers the full range of expertise needed, materials, coatings, testing, modelling, and stakeholder engagement, across five countries and both sides of the Arctic and Atlantic.
