Factors of Effectiveness of European Innovation Partnership in Agriculture

Abstract

The European Innovation Partnership (EIP) is considered to be a new phenomenon signalling political will, highly relevant issue in contemporary domain of discussions among practitioners and researchers. While practitioners lack experience, researchers make attempts to identify the factors that influence effectiveness of an innovation partnership, explore the indicators and techniques to determine and evaluate its effectiveness. Aim of the study presented in the article is to determine the external and internal factors that influence effectiveness of the European Innovation Partnership by analysing the operating conditions of an operational group of the European Innovation Partnership in Agriculture (EIP-AGRI). Expert evaluation was carried out by experts who have scientific and practical experience: scientists, policy makers, innovators, developing an innovation partnership. The force field analysis has shown that the number of negative factors of EIP effectiveness exceeds the number of positive factors, and the factors analysed and evaluated allow to identify potential negative consequences in a timely manner and provide the opportunity to predict effectiveness of the EIP-based projects.

Peculiarities and development trends of the Russian agro-industrial complex under digitalization conditions

“…In the agricultural sector, the market share as of January 2017 amounted to 6% of all projects implemented in the world in the field of the Internet of Things. J'son and Partners Consulting company consultants believe that with market development the use of technologies of the Internet of Things will be widely used in various devices, technical and information systems [11].…”

Do EIP-AGRI operational groups improve farmers’ performance? An analysis of treatment effects in intensive farming systems

“…In literature, existing studies about OGs have focused on topics such as progress in implementation of OGs (Knotter et al, 2019;Schreuder et al, 2022), key factors for successful projects (Harrahill et al, 2022;Maziliauskas et al, 2018;McCarthy et al, 2021;Molina et al, 2021;Parzonko et al, 2022), performed functions (Piñeiro et al, 2021), governance processes (Giarè and Vagnozzi, 2021), and consistency with the objectives of European strategies (Cristiano and Proietti, 2018;Eckerberg et al, 2023;Giarè and Vagnozzi, 2021).…”

“…They observed that the themes addressed by OGs are less focused on environmental issues than the recommendations coming from specific EIP-AGRI focus groups. Maziliauskas et al (2018) identified the external and internal factors that influence the effectiveness of OGs by a force field analysis. They found that the biggest negative impact comes from the lack of cooperation between partners and that internal factors such as partner involvement and constant monitoring of achievements based on a list of indicators play an important role in a project's success.…”

“…The assessment of OGs involves several aspects related to the implementation of the funding programme, the selection of projects, and their results and effects (Gehrlein and von Kutzleben, 2016). The existing studies about OGs mainly focus on the first two aspects as well as on key factors for successful projects, governance, and consistency with policy objectives, while little or no emphasis is placed on the assessment of impacts (Cristiano and Proietti, 2018;Eckerberg et al, 2023;Giarè and Vagnozzi, 2021;Harrahill et al, 2022;Knotter et al, 2019;Maziliauskas et al, 2018;McCarthy et al, 2021;Molina et al, 2021;Parzonko et al, 2022;Piñeiro et al, 2021;Schreuder et al, 2022). Factors related to availability and methods of collection of project data as well as the stage at which these studies were carried out may explain this shortcoming.…”

“…Hal ini tidak hanya berlaku untuk satu bidang saja, namun dapat berlaku pada kemitraan yang dilakukan di berbagai bidang. (Atouba & Shumate, 2020;Boyce & Hunter, 2009;Briggs et al, 2019;Butenko & Liudmyla, 2019;Cicognani et al, 2020;Maziliauskas et al, 2018;Mulder & Wismer, 1991;OECD, 2016;Raj et al, 2020;Ritman, 2016) Salah satu daerah yang memiliki potensi agrowisata adalah Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Nama kawasannya adalah Kawasan Agrowisata Cihideung yang terletak di Kecamatan Parongpong merupakan kawasan "wisata bunga" yang menyediakan aneka jenis bunga tanaman hias, buah buahan termasuk bibitnya.…”
