The main topic of the CARE4BIO online training is the multi-actor approach MAA, which is not only an additional eligibility criterion in Cluster 6 proposals but also an opportunity to achieve  better and more effective project results. This training is open CL6 applicants and NCPs.

The multi-actor approach aims to make the R&I process and its outcomes more reliable, demand-driven, shared and relevant to society. It also aims to have these outcomes shared more extensively. A multi-actor project should ensure the genuine and sufficient involvement of a targeted array of actors, which serves the objectives of the topic.

The training will explore in depth the definition of the multi-actor approach concept, how the multi-actor approach aims to strengthen the process of 'co creation' in the development of a project proposal and how the application of this criteria allows practitioners and (end) users to be involved, not as a study-object, but to use their practical and local knowledge and/or entrepreneurial skills to develop solutions and create ’co-ownership‘ of results for (end-) users and practitioners.

During the two-hour training, officers from Ethe uropean Commission will help us in better understanding the MAA concept, experiences will be shared and analyzed as good practice to understand how to build a good Horizon Multi-Actor Approach.
