The document presents the Catalyst project which aims to develop collective intelligence tools and services to augment existing social media platforms and support public deliberation. The project will deliver an ecosystem of tools including annotation tools, recommenders, creativity triggers, visualizations, and analytics. These tools will be trialled across various social innovation networks. The project seeks synergies with other CAPS projects and will hold an open competition to test the tools on community platforms from January to April 2015.
