Catalyst is a research project based at Lancaster University bringing together community groups and academics from social science, computing, design and management science to carry out transformative research on the theme of citizen-led social innovation. Mission Catalyst has two primary research questions: (1) Understanding behaviour: what stimulates people to participate in civic actions and why? (2) Tools for change: what next-generation digital technologies best support how people want to innovate in a civic action setting?
