MINDSET Partners Meet Online
The MINDSET partnership convened online today, 21 November 2025, for a coordination meeting focused on advancing the project’s core activities.
MINDSET
Mission-oriented innovation towards digital and green transitions in the NPA communities
What we do
Mission-Oriented Innovation (MOI) is an emerging field giving a better strategic and holistic orientation of Science, Technology and Innovation to respond to grand societal challenges.
In the Northern Periphery and Arctic, MOI initiatives only exist at national level and its impact at regional/local levels is very limited. The absence of bottom-up approaches is impeding the possibility to define and shape MOI to address societal challenges at local and regional level.
MINDSET’s overall objective is to provide policy makers and other stakeholders with the innovation capacity to deal with societal challenges, that are otherwise non-existing or only developed at a national and/or EU level.
This is done by introducing suitable Regional Mission-Oriented Innovation (RegMOI) approaches adapting and developing methods and tools to address interrelated challenges, such as skills development, climate change, and regional housing and public real estate, affecting NPA territories.
