The multi-actor approach (MAA) is often a mandatory requirement in Cluster 6 calls of Horizon Europe. As many people are not aware how to handle this topic, NCP Flanders and ILVO have decided to organize a webinar on how to approach co-creation and the multi-actor approach (MAA) in Horizon Europe project proposals.  

The main speaker of the 1 hour webinar is Doctor Hanne Cooreman. She is experienced in researching learning and facilitating co-creative processes within European multi-actor projects at the Flanders research institute for agricultur, fisheries and food (ILVO). In Horizon Europe initiatives such as PREMIERE and RUSTICA, and national projects such as B3W, she focused on embedding participatory methodologies that foster meaningful collaboration between farmers, advisors, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders. During the webinar, she will share in which ways the PREMIERE project aims to put the conceptual EU framework on multi-actor into practice and focus on how you can use the easily accessible PREMIERE toolbox. 

The testimonial will be presented by Kevin Dewitte who works as an educational supervisor at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, Department of Plants and Crops of Ghent University. He has worked on multiple projects: 

• CROPDIVA (H2020) which aims to reinforce agrobiodiversity on different levels and along distinct geographic and socio-economic areas
• Agricultural drought (FWO) is a study on soil moisture and microbial activity in function of soil texture and groundwater depth
• DETACH (IOF) is about the development of tetramic acid herbicides.

During the webinar he will present how the MAA was included in the preparatory phase and during the Horizon Europe project Legendary.
