Third, the Catalyst Initiative overall provided a wider umbrella and support framework for collaboration and mutual learning within and beyond the Initiative. For example, two face-to-face summits convening all projects - one in New Delhi, India, in 2011 and the other in Beijing, China, in 2012 - were planned from the start of the Initiative. The Initiative also set up an electronic platform to facilitate social networking, share information and materials and allow communication with others. Conference calls took place on a monthly basis between the consortia leaders and HP to support and exchange ideas on developments within the Initiative.
