EIP-AGRI THEMATIC NETWORKS /MULTIACTOR

PROJECTS ANALYSISAdrien Guichaoua - ACTA-FRANCE

[email protected]

Andrès Montero Aparicio - [email protected]



• This analysis has been undertaken by Adrien Guichaoua (ACTA) and Andrès Montero (INIA) in the

frame of their own activities but also in the frame of their NCP H2020 Societal Challenge 2 position.

Thus, this work is not an official study of the European Commission.

• This analysis aims to highlight every partner interested in future thematic networks application in

the frame of the ISIB-2 call and to better understand the conditions of succes.

• This analysis relies on the ESR (Evaluation Summary Reports) of the 30 Horizon 2020 ISIB-2

submitted thematics networks in 2014.

• The qualititative analysis aims to bring out the most reccurent commentaries (strength and

weakness) among the 30 ESR for each evaluation criteria (Scientific excellence, Impact,

Implementation). It appeared that clear outlines can be brought out of the whole evaluations.

• A deeper and more precised work could be carried out by analysing carrefully the 30 thematic

networks proposals. However such an analysis represent a huge amount of work.

1. Methodology (1)

Partnership:

• One of the main feature of the thematic networks is the multi-actor approach. This new approach

necesserally induced to bring together a wide range of stakeholders within the project.

• In order to simplify the interpretation of the analysis, the different partners have been classified

under 5 main categories:

Research (academic – universities - private)

Advisory services –Innovation Support Services (Extension - Hybrid activities)

Business / SME (Economic sector)

NGO (EU Networks -representation of interests)

Others (Farmer Unions – Other public partners – Consultancy firms)

• The partners have been classified as such, regarding the knowledge of the authors, further web

researchs, the aim of the project and their role in the project.

A « technological center/platform» could have been classified as Research center, ISS or Business,

depending of its role and its surrounding area (i.e. SME cluster).

3. Qualitative analysis

1. Conditions of succes linked to H2020 CSA applications (1)

• Conceptual and theoritical framework must be robust and clear (Attention: tooconventional approaches, too much theoric projects)

• Objectives : clear, pertinent, easy to understand, feasible, mesurable, relevant to the topic, technical (not too ambitious, wide etc…)

• Results : clearly achievable, easily accessible, mesures must be well structured, different and gradual steps must be clearly identified, in adequation with end-users needs

• The state of the art must be clearly described and the progress beyond the startof art must be well identified and adressed (key leverage points)

• The concept must sound with a multi-actor approach (not too academic or public policy oriented)

1. Conditions of succes linked to H2020 CSA applications (2)

• Design / work plan: logical, realistic, coherent, clear, feasible implementation, planned, clear links and connections between the WPs and the objectives

• The (wide) partnership must be manageable , coordination and support measures among actors, clear links among partners

• Areas : different geographical areas (relevant to the theme of the project) must be adressed, take into account the difference between the EU territories

• Sustainability of the project/network after is duration must be adressed

• Risks: must be well identified for management (structure and procedure) and dissemination - barriers, obstacles, quality control and risk implementation must be well adressed, realistic, comprehensive and convincing

2. Conditions of succes linked to thematic networks and the multi-actor approach (1)

A. Excellence :

• Practice led innovation and market driven innovation (commitment of industry)

• Integrative : socio-economic, technologic, environmental performances

• Emphasis on bottom-up or interactive innovation approach (not too academic and top-down)

• Relying on existing succesfull methods, strategies and approaches (including for knowledgeexchange – dissemination).

• Built and capitalised on previous works, projects and results – strong background

• Relying on existing networks, initiatives, infrastructures, databases, (sustainability) and go beyond


A. Excellence (2):

• Learn from successfull practices but also failures

• Social learning with importance of societal systems around agriculture

• Good innovation interaction (living and fabric labs)

• Well explain how the Work Plan will work in practice

• ICT platforms towards end-users

• Well adress technical aspect (even if no research , experimentation)

• Well adress the existing gaps and lacks between research and practice.

• Include experiences and lessons learnt from science and practices from outside Europe (USA – New Zealand –Australia, etc…)

• Feedback mecanisms for improved research and new innovation ideas.

2. Condition of succes linked to thematic networks and the multi-actor approach (3)

B. Impact and dissemination

• Needs of end-users : must be well identified, captured, targeted and narrowed - direct committment (questionnaires, field interview, etc…)

• Communication and dissemination go beyond the wide stakeholders but also reaching civil society

• Main impact on practitioners (easy accessible way) and ISS (facilitation techniques), but targeted dissemination to all actors of the value chain,

• Local/ regional / national study cases to tackle the diversity and to strengthen the impact. Well identify and analyse the gaps between EU regions and countries.

• Dedicated WP and edition team to increase the impact – but also dissemination in others WPs

• Pilot farms and knowledge transfer centre enhancing local end-users impact

• Policy recommendation towards managing/programing authorities and RDI funders

• Training, education and scaling-up measures with linkage of relevant initiatives increasing the impact

2. Condition of succes linked to thematic networks and the multi-actor approach (4)

B. Impact and dissemination (2)

• Sophisticated and replicable dissemination plan (other sectors, actors): participative/mutual learning

• Clear division of expected output and outcomes and mid & long term impacts (smart indicators)

• Using networks, umbrella organisation and platform at different scales for dissemination impact (including EIP-AGRI)

• Clear targeted groups for dissemination (and relevant tailored tools) and translation for end-users in different EU languages (relevant budget)

• New video-tools for dissemination and wide range of media proposed

• Well structured data-management plan

• Empowerment of the impact through high numbers of exchanges among regions/countries

• Priorisation, test and review/assessment of innovation before dissemination.


C. Partnership:

• Multi-actors : consortium must be well balanced and complementary in terms of organisations, skills and geography (adapt the areas of study to the theme) and demonstrated.

• Multi-disciplinary (economics, social, environmental, agronomics, public policy, etc…)

• Mutual learning (including face to face) process among all the actors (despite the key and interface role of ISS) or at least self learning supported by key experts

• Key role of the facilitator/interface/ISS agent

• National clusters or geographic hubs of different kind of actors for effective mutual learning and knowledgetransfer

• Clear role identified for each kind of partner (good management handbook allowing each partner to know what they have to do) – relevant partners to relevant tasks (+ all partners committed as a minimum to all WPs – integrated approach)

• Previous cooperations between the partners


C. Partnership (2) :

• Experienced and relevant partners (persons and institutions) in EU projects

• Management Structures: Advisory Board (going beyond the broad multi-actor partnership), General Assembly,

Executive Committe/Management support team.

• Oportunity to commit more external stakeholders/actors helping to further develop the project and to better

disseminate (budget provision for travel and subsistence of new actors/stakeholders)

• Good capacity to multiply links and communication with commitment of associated partners – not funded

(letter of intent)

• Well detailed and justified share of responsibilities and resources (but not too complex – coordinator must

have the adequate role and responsibilities).

• Attention to too much subcontracting budget

• Managing authorities of CAP pillar 2 – Strong assets in line with EIP integrative approach

• Market driven actors (Industry)

• Strong academic actors and knowledge
