D1.16 Impact Assessment Report for RP 3

Abstract

This document serves as the impact assessment report for RP3 (M31-M48) of the EXCELSIOR project. It offers an overview of the project's achievements during this reporting period, outlining a methodology for monitoring the impact of ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence (ECoE) and its partners' activities in alignment with predefined targets. The list of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), initially outlined in D1.12, have been revised based on feedback received during the project review in November 2022. This updated list now reflects the activities undertaken in RP3. Monitoring the impact during RP3 provides insights into the actions required to meet the KPIs in future reporting periods. This impact assessment report plays a crucial role in evaluating the work plan's implementation and guiding necessary adjustments in collaboration with WP and task leaders to ensure the project's strategic goals are met. WP1 establishes the framework for KPI monitoring and general quality processes, while WP3 defines concrete actions affecting all other WPs to achieve the Impact KPIs. Coordination with WP3 activities on strategy definition ensures that human resources, infrastructure acquisition, and the overall work plan are updated to address new priorities. The report evaluates various activities, such as proposals, dissemination events, publications, academia, and networks, against the established KPIs, providing insights into their impact.
