Abstract
This publication has a two-fold aim: to summarize the main results from the COST Action CA16114 REthinking Sustainability TOwards a Regenerative Economy (RESTORE, 2017-2021); and, to provide some insight into the project management strategies that are in place for our team, thereby ensuring that the Action will be properly and successfully developed. COST is the longest-running European framework supporting trans-national cooperation between researchers, engineers, and scholars throughout Europe. The RESTORE Action is working for a paradigm shift towards restorative sustainability for new and existing buildings and space design across Europe, through active lobbying and mentoring, as well as through working groups, training schools and Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs), advancing the sustainability of restorative builtenvironment sustainability.
In this publication we will firstly provide an overview of what the RESTORE Action is, its challenge, main goals, structure, and main tasks. We will explore in greater detail how we addressed RESTORE, using an internationally recognized Project Management methodology. The voices of RESTORE active members will reflect their impressions and insights on the experience they lived within a COST Action.
