The Interactive Innovation Model
The innovation model under the agricultural EIP goes farbeyond speeding up transfer "from laboratory to market"through diffusion of new scientific knowledge (referred to as a"linear innovation model").
The EIP adheres to the "interactive innovation model" whichfocuses on forming demand-driven partnerships - usingbottom-up approaches and linking farmers, advisors,researchers, businesses, and other actors in OperationalGroups.
This knowledge exchange will generate new insights andideas and mould existing tacit knowledge into focusedsolutions that are quicker put into practice thanks to the co-ownership generated during projects. Such an approach willstimulate innovation from all sides and will help to target the
research agenda.

FG (up to 20 experts) must set out a series of tangible
deliverables (reports etc)
General approach for output of a focus group:
practical knowledge and where to get that knowledge, e.g. List of practices/solutions for the problems/opportunities of the
FG
List of useful projects (research, advisory etc) with the
contacts Audio-visual material if possible for the EIP website
Organise two face-to-face meetings preferably on location
List of ideas for future interactive OG projects

EIP Implementation via
Rural Development Programmes
Establishing operational groups (Art 62) involving farmers,advisors, agribusiness, research, NGOs, etc
Support for Operational Groups (OGs) (Art 36 and other)
Bottom-up approach towards defining composition andoperational purpose of a single operational groups: eachoperational group must establish its plan on expected resultsand share results within the EIP network
Possible combination of cooperation in "operational groups"with other measures such as knowledge transfer, advisoryservices, investment aid, quality schemes etc.
The EIP aims at a flexible and open system for the creationof a multiplicity of operational groups

Rural Development funds provide for financing if the Member Statemakes it part of its Rural Development Plan(s):
Support for the use of advice by farmers, the setting up of farmadvisory services and for the training of advisors: 50% co-financing
Cooperation support: 80% co-financing
Support for knowledge transfer & inf. actions: 80% co-financing
40% + top up 20% support rate for collective investments
RD programmes have a horizontal priority on knowledgetransfer and innovation
National rural networks and EIP national networks support networkactivities for innovation
RD Support for innovation & knowledge exchange

Support for Operational Groups (OGs) covers
setting up EIP OGs
funding their operations:
- Support for the development ofnew products, practices,
processes and technologies - Support for "pilot projects, pursuing the testing and
adaptation of technologies, processes etc. to "new"geographical/environmental contexts (i.e. contexts in which theyhave not yet been used)
The cooperation measure also supports many other activitieswhich pursue the objectives of the EIP, e.g. support for networks,which bring together a variety of actors and by sharing needs andknowledge may initiate actions of OGs and/or support actions ofexisting groups.
Art 36 - Cooperation measure for OGs

Innovation guidelines:Composition of operational groups (OGs)
(RDC 20 Feb 2013)
- An EIP operational group builds itself around a concreteinnovation project targeted towards finding a solution for a
specific issue- not necessarily being bound to a specific territory or anupfront fixed strategy.
- project implementation may be short (less than 7 years)
So, OGs are action and result oriented hands-on groups (nobalanced representation needed) to maximise interaction forco-creation and cross-fertilisation
OGs are a mixture of actors from possibly very differentterritories and in principle only exist for the aim of execution of
the project

Innovation guidelines: 100 % bottom-upinnovation projects under Rural Development
(RDC 20 Feb 2013)
Innovation is a horizontal priority in RD program:
Establishment of operational groups (Art. 36) can be 100% bottom-
up (calls without determining specific project themes upfront)
criteria can be related to:
- relevance of the project for actors and end-users*
- targeted composition of the partners in view of co-creation*
- quality & quantity of knowledge exchange & cross-fertilisation- demonstrating competences on state of play/avoiding repetition
- easy understandable & long-term communication effect
(*evidence from examples collected by the KT & I focus group(ENRD)

National EIP networks: Technical assistance under Article 51 of the rural development
regulation can be used to finance national EIP networkingactivities and implement the EIP for the country/region (e.g.promote innovation measures, connect with EIP activities at EU
level, connect to regional EIP-networks and advisory services,innovation brokers, thematic networks etc.)

Innovation guidelines: innovation brokerageunder Rural Development
(RDC 20 Feb 2013)
To help setting up a multiplicity of operational groups formedaround concrete projects, innovation brokerage can be
supported via
- - technical assistance (Art 55 (2))- animation under the cooperation measure (Art 36 (5))- advisory services (Art 16 (1))
So, strive for a flexible and open system for the creation of amultiplicity of operational groups:
Different approaches for OGs may be useful e.g. vouchers etc(e.g. of an innovation broker: 500 for small project till 12.000 euro for very big projects )

Innovation broker: (Source: Howells, 2006)
A innovation broker is an impartial person or organisationthat.acts as an agent or broker in any aspect of theinnovation process between two or more parties. Such
intermediary activities include: helping to provide informationabout potential collaborators; brokering a transaction betweentwo or more parties; acting as a mediator, or go-betweenbodies or organizations ; and helping find advice, funding andsupport for the innovation outcomes of such collaborations.
(see EIP Kick-off event 19 Nov 2013 for the process steps in brokering,
see AGRI research and innovation conference March 2012 for theconcept)

EIP Implementation via theEuropean Union Research Policy (Horizon 2020)
Research projects enhancing the knowledge base,including on-farm experiments
Support for practice-oriented formats such as multi-actor projects, and support for innovation brokers,innovation centres, and thematic networks
Calls for proposals via work programmes (at least 3independent legal entities from 3 Member States orassociated countries)
Interlinking knowledge generation and sharing experiencethrough dissemination activities and thematic networks

Horizon 2020 legal base:
-A multi-actor approach" "will ensure the necessary cross-fertilising interactions between researcher, businesses,farmers/producers, advisors and end-users".
- "The impact and dissemination of research results will beactively supported through specific actions on communication,knowledge exchange and the involvement of various actors allalong the projects.
This approach fully matches with the concept of RDOperational Groups under the EIP interactive innovation model

Important features of multi-actor projects:
1. Relevance of the research object for end-users(importance of subject, demand driven, complementarity,creativity, absorption capacity)
2. Targeted composition of the partnership of actors(coverage of partners, complementarity, adequacy, )
3. Refining of possible solutions: knowledge exchange andcross-fertilisation actions during the project (actions
generating co-ownership) 4. Short-term dissemination (via involvement of actors &
end-users, expertise and track record of actors, translation)
5. Long-term dissemination (output and outreach, easyaccessible and understandable)

Thematic networks under Horizon 2020
Projects involving all concerned stakeholders (researchers,
farmers, advisors, enterprises, education, NGOs, administration,
regulatory bodies): no pure research networks
Stocktaking, mapping and state-of-the-art of existing
scientific knowledge & best practices: what do we have/what
do we miss to make used
Projects must develop end-user material to facilitate the
discussion on, sharing and dissemination of knowledge in an easyaccessible way: input for education and a research database
for end-users (long term availability of results in a common
format)

Thematic networks under Horizon 2020
Themes can be be linked to sectors, e.g. arable crops, fruit&veg,
pig,) or subjects, e.g. crop rotation, certain farming practices,
energy, eco-system services, social services, biobased products,
short supply chains,or etc? (SCAR & AKIS WG )
As they bring together possible actors, they may help the
connecting and building of EU operational groups & multi-
actor projects
Projects may possibly link to demonstration or pilot (?)
