Call
Summary
Proposals under this Call, will focus on how to discover innovative ideas and how to enable the relevant actors to work out these ideas in a co-creative way as from the very start of the making of the proposal. The expected outcome of this topic is to develop sound, coherent and well prepared innovation generation and support methods, which enable individual grassroots innovative ideas to come to fruition.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should address the following activities:
- Develop approaches to set up and improve the functioning of innovation brokers, which
have the capacities to find individual innovative grassroots ideas at an early stage as well as practice needs or innovative opportunities. These innovative ideas should then be developed with the support of the owner of the idea and a number of relevant actors with complementary knowledge into an EIP-AGRI interactive innovation project using methods ensuring co-ownership of the initiators and partners in the project. - Explore how such innovation support approaches could be embedded in the national/regional AKIS, in particular through useful connections with advisors, and how they can be linked to other broader innovation support mechanisms, including research, advisors and CAP networks at Member State or regional level.
- Investigate and compare among Member States how the governance of such innovation support could be organised at the level of the managing authorities taking into account the great variety of contexts in Member States and regions.
- Cover all to ensure learning from diversity. Make use of all the 27 EU Member States of experts who understand and are able to make an accurate interpretation of the national/regional contexts and its impact to help develop the ideal solution for that Member State.
