Consultation for RIs & Stakeholders | ESFRI's approach on RI Impact Assessment | 30 May 2023 | Online

Impact assessment (IA) is an important part of the policy-making process, as it helps evaluation of the potential effects of proposed policies on various stakeholders and the making of informed decisions about whether to adopt, modify, or reject a proposed policy.
 
ESFRI is conscious of the importance of RIs impact assessment, including on the sustainability of RIs, and, as requested by the Competitiveness Council's Conclusions (15429/22), has formed a drafting group to elaborate on the topic, tasked with preparing a report based on information collected from literature and questionnaires to the ESFRI member countries and RIs, in the context of the current ESFRI Workplan. 
 
The full draft of the Policy Brief is already available here. This report highlights the importance of understanding the differences between performance monitoring, which ESFRI started implementing last year, and impact assessment of RIs and provides recommendations for stakeholders, policymakers, funders, governments, RIs, ESFRI, and European Commission (EC).

To get more insights from key stakeholders in order to enrich and finalise this report, ESFRI organises an online Consultation Workshop on ESFRI’s approach to RI impact Assessment, on 30 May 2023, 11:30-13:00 CEST.

Participation is open to all, but registration is required. 

Please note that a separate Workshop on the same topic will be organised for ESFRI Delegates only. More information here.
