9 new networks strengthen the KIN Pact community

Last month, the second round of applications for the KIN Pact Network grant was completed. This time, nine transdisciplinary networks – networks representing both knowledge institutions and civil society organisations – were awarded grants. The KIN Pact community has thus been further strengthened with a series of networks, which we are very pleased about.

The following networks will immediately start working within the Pact as working groups on various (climate) transition issues:

  • Lawyers for a Sustainable World (JDW)
  • National Expertise Centre for Transdisciplinary Working (NECTR)
  • Climate-robust sandy soil network: Connecting research and practice
  • The KANNN
  • Materials Security and the Climate Transition Network
  • Accessible Food Communities Network
  • Indigenous Liberation Month x Just Transitions Network
  • Right for Climate Foundation
  • HitteLab Rotterdam: heat and health
     

About the KIN Pact Network Grant

Last year, the KIN Pact Network Grant was launched by KIN as a new financing instrument to promote the formation of transdisciplinary networks aimed at accelerating climate transitions among knowledge institutions and social partners. The KIN Pact is a transdisciplinary community committed to accelerating system transitions to a climate-neutral and climate-resilient society. The KIN Pact Network Grant will be evaluated in the Autumn of 2025.

See an overview and brief introduction of all new networks on the Pact page.
