• PREMIERE is a EU-funded project focused on the co-creation for innovation, preparing multi-actor projects
• The PREMIERE 100+ Club is composed of four Macro-regional Stakeholder Panels: Atlantic, Baltic, Danube and Mediterranean, with representatives of the 27 European Member States

This panel of experts aims to strengthen the dialogue between current and prospective partners of multi-actor consortia from the four major sectors of society: Government and Policy, Research and Academia, Industry and Business, and Society and Community, to find ways to support each other in making faster progress towards collaboration in research and development in agriculture, forestry and related sectors to foster innovation in Horizon Europe.

As coordinator of the Mediterranean Panel, CIHEAM Zaragoza recently hosted the first of a series of online meetings of PREMIERE's Macro-regional Stakeholder Panel. The session focused on the project’s objective to support the development of well-prepared projects to respond the call for proposals in Cluster 6 - Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment that include a request to follow the multi-actor approach. Participants in the session discussed barriers, and challenges and made recommendations to address the phases involved in building a project proposal to include the multi-actor approach (MAA), engaging relevant actors with complementary backgrounds and expertise to co-create and share knowledge, best practices and innovative solutions responding to the needs of the end-users of the project results e.g. farmers, foresters and advisors.

The Horizon Europe mandate for Cluster 6 aims to accelerate the transition to sustainable, healthy and inclusive food systems to achieve the objectives of the Farm to Fork Strategy effectively. It empowers farmers, fishers and aquaculture producers to transform their production methods more quickly and efficiently and make the best use of nature-based, technological, digital and social innovations.

The next macro-regional stakeholder panel online meetings will be held in April 2024 and the four macro-regional panels will meet on-line in the autumn.
