…was first introduced in the Horizon 2020 programme in 2014 and has been significantly extended for the period 2021-2027 under Horizon Europe.  The aim of the MAA is to encourage and support Europe-wide collaboration between partners with the necessary diversity of skills and expertise to develop and implement innovative ideas and new solutions to address real-life problems or opportunities.

PREMIERE aims to strengthen this approach by supporting the development of more relevant, coherent and better prepared multi-actor project proposals for EU funding.

The overall objective of PREMIERE is to provide tailored options for current and potential MA project partners on how to improve the development of MA project proposals in order to (a) ensure a balanced involvement of relevant actors with complementary knowledge and (b) empower these actors to work in a more co-creative way.

The project will also work with policy makers and executive agencies at EU and national/regional level (including support services such as National Contact Points) to strengthen the “enabling environment” for MFA and co-innovation.
