The project focuses on relationship generation and building social capacity for innovation rather than focusing on one-off innovation outcomes. This addresses a major gap in sustainability research and policy, which broadly neglect social connectedness as an innovation outcome in itself. This is despite stark evidence surfaced by the Covid pandemic that social cohesion is crucial to generating the social buy-in necessary to solving complex problems collectively, whether in small or large groups.
