This project is co-‐funded by the EC under the FP7 Programme

Impact Assessment for Social Innova3on

Antonella Passani – T6 Ecosystems


Project objec3ves

•  To develop – with your support – a methodology and a set of online tools for socio-‐poliBcal, economic and environmental impact assessment

•  Map key factors supporBng a wider uptake of digital social innovaBon (DSI) iniBaBves

•  Assess CAPs expected impacts at project and at domain level

•  Develop a research roadmap and policy recommendaBons on instruments for improving the impact of DSI and CAPS projects and facilitate their uptake

InnovaBve aspect


IA4SI stakeholders and online tools


IA4SI tools (under development)

•  More than an online quesBonnaire: as you enter enough data about you project you will see a short report about your expected impacts

•  You will visualize here also the opinions of your users about the expected impacts of the tools they are using/tesBng

•  A simple online quesBonnaire for you direct users

•  They will be asked to express their opinion on the experiences or expected impact of using your outputs

•  European ciBzens will be invited to express their opinion on your project outputs by voBng.

•  This tool will allow you to present your project to a wider audience and to exchange ideas with IA4Si and other CAPs projects

InnovaBve aspect


We need you input!

•  3 workshops: –  A first draU of the IA4Si methodology and of SAT and UDGI will be

presented for you to gather your feedback –  A dedicated workshop will be organised for presenBng you a preliminary

release of the CEP –  The preliminary results of the impact assessment will be presented and

discussed with you before submiXng the deliverables to the EC

•  We can use our LinkedIn group for sharing ideas about the methodology on a regular basis

•  We will organise webinars for supporBng you in using the tools: this will be also good opportuniBes for discussing the features of the tools and improve them thanks with your feedback

•  The methodology will be finalised aUer the CAPs projects assessment

InnovaBve aspect


Support systems for you

•  Webinars organised on a regular basis during the data gathering phase

•  One to one interview/calls/emails •  TickeBng system for all of the IA4SI tools •  FAQs •  IA4SI How to Guide


More collabora3on opportuni3es

•  Make synergic IA4SI CEP with your pla^orms: you can use CEP for engaging more users and we it will be very helpful if you can give visibility to CEP

•  Exchange info on your internal monitoring and evaluaBon systems in order to make IA4SI methodology as coherent as possible with your systems and vice versa

•  Research collaboraBon on new models of value definiBon, behind GDP indicators and assessment of intangibles


IA4SI expected impacts

•  Impact on knowledge creaBon and sharing (IA4SI methodology, CAP assessment, etc.)

•  CAPs projects more aware of their impacts and using the IA4SI methodology (or part of it) in their every day work (impact on working rouBnes? On management effecBveness? Increase accountability?)

•  Foster the use of impact assessment methodologies in future projects

•  Make EU ciBzens aware of CAPs and DSI and engage them in “assessing” their outputs (increase transparency? Enlarge the number of people that knows of DSI?)


IA4SI Workshop Feasible?

In Rome at the end of March 2014!

Talking about impact

Antonella Passani -‐ T6 Ecosystems


Talking about impact...

means answering quesBons such as: ü What is the difference

a project makes? ü Why is a project

relevant and for whom?

ü How much difference does a project make?


“Cost Benefit Analysis is applied social science and this is not an exact discipline. It is largely based on approximaBons, working hypotheses and shortcuts because of lack of data or because of constraints on the resources of evaluators. It needs intuiBon and not just data crunching and should be based on the right incenBves for the evaluators to do their job in the most independent and honest environment. Establishing this environment is largely a mafer of insBtuBonal building, local culture and transparency.” (EC -‐ DG Regional Policy -‐ Guide to Cost-‐Benefit Analysis of investment projects, Final Report SubmiDed by TRT TrasporF e Territorio and CSIL Centre for Industrial Studies, 2008)


CAPS Expected impacts (Call 10, Objec3ve 5.5)

“the emergence and take-‐up of new sustainable organisa/onal and behavioural models at individual and community levels, resulFng in sustainable social and economical innovaFon improving the quality of response to societal and economic challenges, such as growth, employment, inclusion, educaFon, community development, health, environment, energy, and quality of life at large”.


•  Catalyzing and enabling new producBon and consumpBon paferns, lifestyles, and socio-‐economic processes based on commons, sharing, exchange, and parBcipaBon at local and global scales.

•  Strengthened evidence of social innovaBon based on collecBve knowledge, which can also make possible new forms of foresight in society (by public bodies, organisaBons as well as by ciBzens).

•  Providing advanced concepts and tools enabling people and communiBes to share, collaborate, and make use of data/informaBon generated, empowering future social entrepreneurs and innovators to engage in innovaBve service creaBon and delivery.

CAPS Expected impacts (Call 10, Objec3ve 5.5)

CAPs stakeholders (interview results)

EU ci3zens within the CAPS scope: –  People with disabiliBes and mobility impairments, elderly and their caregivers, and parents

using strollers for their children –  CiBzens with an interest in environmental issues (e.g., individual energy consumpBon;

making more sustainable lifestyle choices; ecological consumpBon) –  CiBzens involved in iniBaBves concerning ecology and conservaBon (e.g., wildlife
