18. Multi-actor approach
•Approach aims at more demand-driven innovation through the genuine and sufficient involvement of various actors (end-users such as farmers/farmers' groups, fishers/fisher's groups, advisors, enterprises, etc.) all along the project: from the participation in the planning of work and experiments, their execution up until the dissemination of results and the possible demonstration phase.
•Facilitation between actors and openness to involve additional actors/groups of actors during the project, for instance relevant EIP operational groups, are strongly recommended.
•Calls: SFS-1A; SFS-1C; SFS-2A; SFS-2B; SFS-3A; SFS-4; SFS-5; SFS-7A; SFS-13; SFS-19; ISIB-2; ISIB-4B, WASTE 2, WASTE-7.
