ThePartners involved andtheir role

A shared vision• Act together tofind solutionsintheirthematic

• Create valuealong thechain linked totheir thematic

• Make results applicableforallbenificiaries (consortiaandbeyond)

Consortiaachievements todate• Effectiveparticipativecommunicationplatform forAnimalfeed andCosmetics consortia(2015)andforEnergy compost(2016)

• Identified andongoing partnership with Europeanpartners forthecosmetics consortiumatVivanesstrade fair (2015,2016)inNuremberg(producersanddistributors ofnatural andorganic cosmetics)

• Technical orbusinessrelationships establishedintraandinter-consortia:e.g.,WABEF/BioEnergy-compostconsortium,Cosmetics andBioEnergy-compost(2015)

Constraints andsolutionsConstraints:- Maintaining theconsortiummotivationanddynamism- Keeping aregular communicationamong thepartners- PooruseoftheIntranetparticipativecommunicationplatform

(lack oftrainingforusing it,weak communicationequipment,hardandsofware,Internetaccess …)

- Finding funds andmaintaining thelevel ofexpertisetoaccess itSolutions:+ Remote trainingsessions(bySkype)onthecommunicationtools

developed bytheULPCoordinator+ Working groupsinside each consortiumtodevelop activities+ Intraorinter-consortiabusinesspartnerships among partners

(with thesupportofinternationalorganisations,e.g.AAIN)

Lessons learnt from theULP

• Federating theme andvalidationprocess tobe managed bytheusers

• European partners need incentives togointo aconsortium• Funding is thekeyfactortomaintain consortiumdynamism• Adefinition ofthework planandrole/responsabilities ofeach partner shall be setupandupdated along theprocess

• Communicate constantly among theconsortiumpartners• Facilitators (AIF)shall be present along theprocess

What is next?• Organiseconsortiummeetingstosetuptheworkplanandcomplete thenext steps oftheprocess

• Communicate externally oneach consortiumforattracting newpartners andexpertises

• Identify newfunding opportunities andsubmitresearch proposals

• Develop trade relationships among partners oneach thematic andimplement theresearch results

• Exploresub-thematics inorder todevelop newbusinessopportunities
