The European University Association (EUA) and the Network of Universities from Capital Cities of Europe (UNICA) joined the collaboration in 2022 and co-organised the 2022 Symposium on ‘Interdisciplinarity for the Net-Zero Transition’, as presented in this report. [...] The common aim is to enhance the contributions of research funders and performers, universities, and higher education institutions to tackle the climate crisis by reducing emissions and embodying the principles of climate sustainability. [...] The six organisations agreed to take joint actions to tackle the climate crisis and chose the theme of ‘interdisciplinarity’ as the keyword to express the willingness to mobilise all actors, approaches, and stakeholders towards the Net-Zero Transition. [...] The moderator Peter Kaderjak, Head of the Zero Carbon Hub (ZKK) of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in Hungary, started by highlighting the added value of interdisciplinarity to provide solutions at the local and global levels. [...] The leaders of the institutes that organised the symposium highlighted the value of interdisciplinary co-operation for the Net-Zero Transition, and in general, against climate change.
