ProgrammesThe Climate KIC of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) opens applications for 2026 Climathon organisers of events that encourage systemic climate action through local challenges.
Climathon events are designed to unite citizens in addressing local climate challenges, with formats that can be in-person, hybrid, or virtual, typically lasting between 12 to 48 hours. Since its inception in 2015, Climathon has seen the participation of around 600 organisers and over 30,000 individuals globally.
Any organisation is welcome to apply to become a Climathon Organiser, including SMEs, universities, city councils, and NGOs. Organisers will oversee the local implementation of the event, with support provided by Climate KIC. A Climathon Organiser licence grants access to resources such as training webinars, a Climathon Playbook, and networking opportunities with fellow organisers. Please note that a membership is necessary to get access to the resources and trainings.
Organisations are encouraged to apply here for the Climathon Organiser licence before the 31 March 2026 deadline.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
