Types of centralised actions (1/2) Multilateral project aims to create concrete deliverables such as learning, testing and training materials, new curricula, strategy and policy documents developed jointly by a formal or informal grouping of organisations or institutions. Multilateral network aims to enable organisations with shared interests to work together on specific themes: strategic reflections, needs analyses, networking activities (i.e. digital educational services, educational support needs, education for specific groups). 4

What is the difference between Accompanying Measures and KA4? KA4 is a transversal action: integrated approach across two or more LLP sectors and previous related programmes and it deals with project that have a broader impact than just a simple conference or publication Accompanying measures are within sectoral programmes (Erasmus, Comenius, Leonardo da Vinci, Grundtvig) are specific to these programmes and they are of smaller scale and foresee punctual actions of dissemination 19
Priorities for Multilateral Projects 1. Activities to research and identify barriers to dissemination and exploitation and develop robust models for successful D&E of results; 2. Activities to assess the impact of results of D&E actions; 3. Transfer and implement results (multiplication) and/or mainstream them into policies; 20
