Maximising Multi-Actor Proposal Success in Horizon Europe

Maximising Multi-Actor Proposal Success in Horizon Europe

PREMIERE & EU-FarmBook Joint Training for research support, knowledge transfer and administration officers within universities and research institutes 26 & 27 May 2026 @ CIHEAM Zaragoza, Spain

Universities and research institutes across EU Member States play a key role in supporting researchers to develop successful Horizon Europe multi‐actor proposals. To strengthen their capacity, the PREMIERE project, in collaboration with the EU‐FarmBook, is launching a Train‐the‐Trainers workshop focused on the Multi‐Actor Approach (MAA) – a core methodology for co‐creating impactful, collaborative projects involving practitioners and (end‐)users alongside academia, industry, public authorities, and civil society actors.

Why to join us?

This hands-on training equips you with skills and practical tools to better support your teams and
researchers in designing clear, collaborative, and well-structured multi-actor projects.
The training will focus on:

• Understanding and applying the MAA into practical guidance and effective support for
  applicants.
• Practical approaches to identify, attract and engage practice actors, users, and other key
  stakeholders in co-creating successful proposals.
• Improving proposal quality, dissemination of project results and impact
• Facilitate collaboration and effective cooperation between researchers and practice
  actors throughout the project.

What to expect?

If selected, you will be expected to: attend a 90-min online preparation workshop; participate in the full 2-day face-to face training in Zaragoza, Spain (26 and 27 May 2026); and act as multiplier within your organisation and transferring the knowledge and skills gained.

This two-day face-to-face training is structured around interactive and experience-based learning methods. Through a combination of real-life simulation, group exercises, and peer exchange, you will gain practical skills and methodological tools to effectively support the development of multi-actor projects.

Who should apply?

This training is specifically designed for research support, knowledge transfer and administration officers within universities and research institutes across the 27 EU Member States who assist in the development of Horizon Europe multi‐actor projects.

Travel and accommodation costs for all participants will be covered and participants from widening countries are strongly encouraged to apply.
