As a participant, you will:

  • Select a core CDR challenge you're passionate about. We will share a list to choose from before the workshop and you can already find examples of challenges from previous workshops here.
  • Work in small teams to generate radical ideas for solutions through structured brainstorming and ideation sprints.
  • As a team, develop and refine one solution by sharpening its value proposition and testing its feasibility, desirability, and viability.
  • Pitch your idea to peers and experts and receive actionable feedback.

The workshop will end with an informal apéro, offering space for continued discussion, networking, and potential Booster team-forming.


Teams intending to apply to the Carbon Removal Booster must attend at least one workshop event. Applications will open soon and the deadline to apply is 29 March 2026.


Please register for the workshop before 9. March 2026 here.
