Climate-KIC drives innovation in climate change through creative partnerships between business, academia and public entities. From its outset, Climate-KIC addresses four themes (Managing climate drivers, Water management, Low carbon cities, Zero carbon production) to respond to the challenge of climate change and identifies business opportunites through education, innovation and entrepreneurship. Pioneers into Practice, one of Climate-KIC's professional education programmes, develops high-level innovation skills for the low-carbon economy. It provides individuals from a range of different backgrounds with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of the transition to a more sustainable society by joining real-life projects, throughout Europe. Participants in the Pioneers into Practice programme get the unique opportunity to learn about climate change innovation in the field, enhance their CV and to expand their professional network.
