Implementation
Step 1: Learning from experienced people
INNOVATION
H. De Vries: Innovation-driven research in Europe - how to
identify and translate opportunities into R&D projects?
M. Petit: Promoting innovations in agriculture – changes in
paradigms and modes of action
Successful INNOVATIVE Projects
DoMEsTIC
APMED
Presentation of ARIMNet-funded projects:
APMed (PE. Lauri), DoMEsTIc (C. Ligda), PoH-Med
(D. Andrivon), REFORMA (L. Pecetti)
Tips to prepare competitive
transnational project proposals

Implementation
Step 2: Interacting, discussing and analysing
Group work in interaction with ARIMNet-funded project coordinators
Innovation aspects – what is innovation? How to assess it? How to boost it?
stakeholders/End-users involvement: who are they? How do they engage
them? Why?
Difficulties encountered
Potential ways / best practices for promoting multistakeholder projects and
enhancing projects’ innovation potential
Implementation
Step 3: Meeting stakeholders in the field Experiencing concrete solutions to concrete issues
Field visit to Cevennes National Park
Resilience Pact
 Common use of private lands by shepherds
on a Territory considered as
common heritage/resource.
 Recognition by the community of :
Pastoral values & local pastoral practices
Local artisanal food shop (cheese, wine, etc.):
Linking food to the territory and sustainable pratices
Implementation
Step 4: Presenting research projects / ideas
Presentation of transnational project proposals by the Young Researchers
New Ideas
Intended projects
Current projects
Spain
Approaches to involve stakeholders / endusers in the research process
Greece
Tunisia
Implementation
Step 4: Building new multidisciplinary /
integrated Mediterranean projects
HARD !!!
To build collaborative projects by a multidisciplinary team of young researchers
Focus on innovation and involvement of end-users in the innovation and
research process.
Define the research topic, problematic, hypothesis, methodology and expected
results.
Presentation and debate of the proposals of each group.
KEY OUTPUT 1 – Deliverable (in progress)
Joint Action Process, from
design to implementation and
evaluation.
Lessons learnt
Next steps / perspectives /
Suggestions…
Deliverable to be validated jointly

WHAT IS NEXT?
HOW TO FUEL THE DYNAMIC / NETWORK?
HOW TO CAPITALISE ON THAT SUCCESS?
Another Young Researchers Seminar? (topic?)
A brokerage event prior to a young researchers call?
A multistakeholder gathering?
A combined interactive event (ex. workshop / final
conference with a dynamic format…)?
