What to expect?
CATALIS is designed to create lasting change, not just to produce documents. This page shows what the project achieves, what it delivers to make that happen, and where to find the formal outputs as they are published.
We make the change that lasts
Interreg projects are measured not just by what they produce but by the change they create. CATALIS commits to one formal result: knowledge adopted and used in practice, supported by three program-level outputs and eight concrete deliverables across its three work packages. Everything the project does points toward that single result: Arctic infrastructure knowledge that reaches the people who need it and gets put to work.
Project outputs
A jointly implemented field pilot
Partners from Norway, Sweden, and Finland develop and implement a shared observational pilot at the Narvik harbour field station — placing Ar2CorD concrete mixes and OFFwind coatings side by side under real Arctic outdoor conditions.
A joint strategy and action plan
All seven partners co-author a joint roadmap setting out realistic next steps, partner roles, and funding routes for continued Arctic infrastructure collaboration. Designed to be adopted by organisations beyond the project as a reference for planning and future cooperation.
Seven organisations cooperating across borders
Seven institutions from five countries, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland, actively cooperate throughout the project. They co-develop outputs, co-implement the field pilot, build the network together, and participate jointly in the final public event.
What we are delivering
CATALIS produces eight formal deliverables across its 12-month project period, covering low-carbon concrete, surface coatings, Arctic durability testing, stakeholder engagement, and future collaboration. Each output is designed to be practical, accessible, and reusable well beyond the project period.
Cross-project synthesis report
A structured comparison of findings from Ar2CorD and OFFwind. Aimed at technical readers, researchers, and informed practitioners across the NPA region.
Practitioner brief
A short, plain-language summary of the most transferable findings for infrastructure owners, engineers, and public authorities.
Narvik photo case
A visual documentation of the observational pilot at the Narvik harbour field station. A replicable model for field observation that any partner region can adapt.
Pre-feasibility report
A comparative screening of potential future pilot locations across partner regions. Assesses exposure conditions, accessibility, logistical feasibility, and indicative resource requirements, and identifies the most promising sites for future development.
Transnational Arctic Durability Network
The founding document of the Transnational Arctic Durability Network, covering scope, membership structure, and communication channels. Accompanied by the initial member list bringing together researchers, practitioners, and public authorities from across the NPA region.
Joint roadmap
A realistic one to two year action plan for the partnership and the wider network, identifying practical next steps, partner roles, and suitable funding and cooperation routes. Designed to be adopted by authorities, operators, and universities as a reference for continued collaboration beyond the project.
Stakeholder interview synthesis note
A concise synthesis of insights gathered through semi-structured interviews with infrastructure owners, public authorities, agencies, and SMEs across all partner regions. Highlights key uptake opportunities, policy relevance, and implications for the joint roadmap and network continuation.
Final public event summary
A media-ready summary of the final hybrid public event, covering key discussions, outcomes, and agreed next steps.
