ARTISAN focuses on improving and extending the offer of high quality learning opportunities that are tailored to individual adult learners’ needs. The project focuses on family members in artisan and agro-tourism family businesses. The family-in-business, includes senior and/or junior members from the family that controls the business and plays a critical role to the survival, continuation, and growth of the family business. Artisan and agro-tourism businesses are firms that produce and/or sell a country’s cultural tradition and products that stem from the country’s tradition. More specifically, the project’s main aim was to develop training programmes, tools, and structures that can help to enhance the entrepreneurial skills and competences of this target group. Past studies showed that entrepreneurship is an area that families in business attribute strategic importance to, and they control this practice as a mean of controlling the strategy and direction of their business. As a result, our project come to fill an apparent need of families-in-business to enhance their entrepreneurial potential and thus their abilities to control and manage more effectively their business and its direction. Thus, we are very niche in our focus, aiming to support the continuation and growth of artisan and agro-tourism businesses (and thus the continuation and enhancement of the cultural component that they carry) through the enhancement of the entrepreneurial skills and potential of family members nested in these enterprises. The choice of the partners was made after careful consideration to ensure that the project would bring together the best possible expertise and knowledge on the topic at hand and would allow the development of realistic and valuable programmes through relevant cross-national collaboration, knowledge inter-exchange, and complementarities amongst the group. The project partners include the following seven organisations from 6 different EU countries: UCLan Cyprus (CY), GrantXpert (CY), Castilla La Mancha (ES), University of Beira Interior (PT), University of Palermo (IT), EDHEC (FR) and ISOB (DE).The project delivered seven key intellectual outputs: •IO1 - State of the art (led by UCLan Cyprus); •IO2 - Empirical Report and Analysis (ISOB); •IO10 - Entrepreneurial training courses and material (EDHEC); •IO5 - Train-the-trainers Handbook and Guidebook (University of Palermo); •IO6 - Casebook (UCLan Cyprus); •IO7 - Entrepreneurial enhancement Web platform (UCLan Cyprus); •IO9 - Final version of Offline and Online Programme (EDHEC). The methodology that was utilised to deliver the intellectual outputs was broken down into a series of steps, involving the following key phases: Review of existing literature & programmes; Research amongst families-in-business; Analysis of primary data; Plan on entrepreneurial training provision; Design of entrepreneurial training plan; and Pilot testing and evaluation. The key activities that the project organised in the context of the execution of the project, include: Project management, Secondary and Primary research and analysis, planning and programme design, translation and localisation of programmes, pilot testing and evaluation, Dissemination and Quality assurance. According to the feedback received during the life of the project, the project had a positive impact on a great number of stakeholders, including the project partner team members and their organisations, main target groups and their respective family businesses, and other organisations and groups, including associations in the artisan/agro-tourism sectors, central and peripheral government tourism/culture authorities. In total 541 people participated in our research stage, 81 people participated in the pilot testing seminars as participants and as trainers, 439 people joined our final dissemination events physically and online and a great number of family businesses and other relevant organisation have been reached during the life of the project through the different dissemination activities that took place.The impact of the proposed project can be of higher value to the national and broader European economy, aspiring to inform policy on how to set the structures for the continuity and strengthening of family businesses in sectors that are critical to preservation and reinforcement of Europe’s cultural tradition. The main target of the project sustainability activities is to continue with a wider implementation of the ARTISAN training programme through customised face to face trainings and through the offering of consulting services to different families in businesses according to their needs.

In this project, we will develop a behavioral economics module within the Constances epidemiological cohort in order to measure patient’s individual economic preferences toward risk, ambiguity and time. These psychological variables and the associated biases are the cornerstones of the normative and descriptive models of individual health decisions in health and behavioral economics. In WP1, we will administratively and logistically set up, implement and include an innovative behavioral economics module on individual preferences within the Constances cohort. We will conduct a web-based questionnaire to an online representative sub-sample of Constances volunteers in two waves at a one-year interval. Our aim is to collect a repeated measure of individual preferences of 5000 Constances volunteers. We will link this module to Constances survey data and medical records as well as relevant data from the French national security database (SNIRAM). We will hire specifically for this project a data manager and a data scientist (for respectively 24 and 18 months) who will prepare the dataset and preliminary statistics and will assist the scientific teams in charge of the four research projects presented hereafter. In WP2, we will investigate the evolution of individual preferences in a life course perspective and more precisely the causal and selection effects linking socioeconomic position to individual preferences (WP2.1) and the role of the patient’s health history in the evolution of individual preferences over time (WP2.2). In WP3, we will examine how individual preferences and socioeconomic indicators (SEP and economic insecurity) jointly determine individual choices of health-related behaviors in terms of primary prevention (e.g. over-eating, poor diets, lack of physical activity, smoking, alcohol abuse, drug use, sleep deprivation) and of secondary prevention (in particular for breast and cervical cancer screening) (WP 3.1) and of decisions related to pollution exposure and residential area (WP 3.2). The results of these studies will inform public policy makers on the decision making process involved in individual health-related behaviors and the social inequalities in health they can induce. Also, the unique dataset resulting from the BeHealth project will constitute a precious public good for national or international researchers in health economics, medicine, epidemiology and public health interested by the concepts developed in behavioral economics on individual preferences and deviations (or biases) from economic rationality.
