Exploiting methodologies, developed by them in the IST-Mentor project, and subsequently implemented and improved in the TRISTAN-East and IST-Mentor+ projects, EU multipliers, with the help of local NCPs for LifeSciHealth, will identify and mentor candidate LifeSciHealth multipliers, in 11 NMS and ACCs – BG, CZ, CY, EE, LT, LV, PL, RO, SI, SK, TR. These LifeSciHealth multipliers will be coached to reinforce and amplify the services of the NCPs for LifeSciHealth in the respective NMS and ACCs.

Each EU multiplier will establish a liaison with several local candidate multipliers, in several participating NMS and ACCs, providing continued bilateral training, tutoring and support, in collaboration with the local NCPs.

The LifeSciHealth multipliers from the NMS and ACCs will attend mentoring workshops exposing them to FP6 and its instruments and to the LifeSciHealth Priority Workprogramme. Each couple, of EU multiplier and LifeSciHealth multiplier, will thereafter engage in a bilateral mentoring action, in which the former will transfer knowledge and hands-on experience to the latter, to be followed by continued support and tutoring via an eMentoring facility.

The LifeSciHealth multipliers selected will be coached in the requirements and rulings of FP6, so as to facilitate their assistance to local LifeSciHealth enterprises - and to entities wishing to adopt LifeSciHealth - to participate and respond to Calls for Proposals within the LifeSciHealth Priority.
