Academic Hubs & Collaborations
Catalyst 2030 is keen to bring existing and emerging academics, researchers, lecturers, and scholar-practitioners to integrate social innovation and systems change approaches across campuses around the globe.
These striving communities seek to be a reference point for academicians involved in the social entrepreneurship field, becoming a space for sharing best practices in teaching, exchanging resources, facilitating research collaborations, propelling action on SDGs, and evolving pedagogy to build the next generation of changemakers.

Systems Change Learning Working Group and academic collaborations
The systems change learning working group was created by identifying the notable gap between practical and actionable tools for social entrepreneurs to apply in their work towards systems change.
Being in a complex and constantly changing environment of study, the working group aims to stimulate the on-going evolution of the social innovators ecosystem.
Through the work of Catalyst 2030 and the systems change learning working group, new collaborations and projects are pursued, to provide valuable opportunities for collective learning and to inform best practices in systems change work.
The currently active systems collaborations and names of chairs of the collaborations are available on the member portal.
