Coordination and Support Action –
for better multi-actor project proposals

Our Work

Working in partnership to develop tools, trainings and various materials for multi-actor proposal writing

Expected output

PREMIERE will foster the effective preparation of successful multi-actor proposals for Horizon Europe and beyond by developing a suite of support activities and easy-to-use materials:

Organisation of brokerage events for forthcoming Horizon Europe calls for multi-actor projects
Pilot seed funding for project proposal development, including specific to engage EIP-AGRI Operational Groups in Horizon Europe
Celebration of successful new multi-actor projects at Granting Parties
Multi-actor training through a multi-actor simulation game, an online Serious Game, an Online Academy, and a MOOCas well as offline training-for-trainers
Divers output such as online videos, creative videos, How-to-Guides etc.
Recommendations and briefings for the European Commission, their services and external evaluators to help to ensure the implementation of the multi-actor approach in new project proposals.

PREMIERE’s work plan

The work of this so-called Coordination and Support Action, funded by Horizon Europe, began in January 2023 and will continue until December 2027 (5 years). Our PREMIERE partners collaborate in a highly interactive work programme that consists of six workpackages (WPs):

PREMIERE is one of several EU projects, which provide support for co-innovation processes across Europe. It has a core role to play but it is only one part in the jigsaw of the European Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS).

WP1 ‘Connect’ ensures constant dialogue between the PREMIERE consortium and the actors in the AKIS.
WP2 ‘Governance’ works with policymakers and executive agencies at all levels (including National Contact Points for the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme) to strengthen the enabling environment for co-innovation.
WP3 ‘Projects’ supports current and prospective partners of MA consortia, which are aiming to implement the MAA.
WP4 ‘Tools’ catalogues and develops tools, including a Serious Game, to enable learning and capacity development
WP5 ‘Skills’ delivers training, learning techniques and hands-on practical experience in the marketplace and brokerage for co-innovation.
WP6 aims to ensure the project’s successful and efficient implementation by coordinating all activities and processes.

Macro-Regional Multi-actor Advisory Panels – the PREMIERE 100+ Club

PREMIERE aims to be a true multi-actor project and is committed to the principles and practice of stakeholder dialogue “all along the project”. We will, therefore soon begin consulting and exchanging with four so-called ‘macro-regional multi-actor advisory panels’ within the framework of our innovative PREMIERE 100+ Club. This will bring together newcomers and more experienced stakeholders from regions of Europe with similar conditions – all with a significant interest in Horizon Europe multi-actor projects!

The PREMIERE 100+ Club will provide a facilitated platform offering opportunities for communication, learning, and networking for participation in multi-actor project proposals for years to come. It will provide a unique opportunity for getting first-hand information on upcoming calls, and new ideas on how to address their multi-actor requirements. Furthermore, the PREMIERE advisory panels will dig deeper into the specificities of implementing the multi-actor approach in the agricultural, forestry, and wider rural context of each macro-region. This will help participants to address context-specific needs as required in multi-actor project proposals, as well providing many valuable insights for the PREMIERE project to work with.
