Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA): Evaluating the financial viability, scalability, and market potential of sustainable technologies and circular business models.
Social Return on Investment (SROI) & Cost-Benefit Analysis: Quantifying the social, environmental, and economic value created by your initiatives, translating impact into compelling financial metrics.
Impact Forecasting & Scenario Modelling: Using data-driven models to project the long-term social and economic outcomes of different strategic choices, de-risking your investment.
Leveraging Our Intelligent Systems Lab
Many of our services are powered by the cutting-edge tools and models developed in our Intelligent Systems Lab. This is where we translate our interdisciplinary research into dynamic, data-driven applications. For our clients, this means accessing:
- AI-Powered Impact Forecasting to visualize the outcomes of policies and strategies before implementation.
- Custom Simulators & Digital Twins to model complex socio-economic and environmental systems, providing a safe space to test scenarios and de-risk decisions.
- Tailored Software Solutions that embed our analytical models into intuitive, user-friendly platforms for ongoing analysis and decision support.
This technical capability ensures that our strategic advice is not only insightful but also rigorously tested, quantified, and actionable. [“Intelligent Systems Lab“]
Policy Design & Implementation
Crafting effective, legitimate, and actionable frameworks.
We develop policies that work on paper and in practice, ensuring they are feasible, funded, and publicly supported.
Evidence-Based Policy Development: From initial drafting to impact assessment, we create robust policy frameworks grounded in socio-economic data and stakeholder realities.
Implementation Roadmapping: Designing practical, step-by-step plans for policy rollout, including governance structures, funding mechanisms, and capacity-building needs.
Multi-Level Governance & Stakeholder Alignment: Facilitating collaboration between EU, national, and local actors to ensure coherent and effective policy implementation.
Social Innovation & Ecosystem Development
Fostering inclusive growth and collaborative advantage.
We help build the ecosystems and partnerships necessary for sustainable, community-embedded success.
Inclusive Business Model Design: Co-creating business strategies that explicitly deliver social value and engage marginalized groups in value chains.
Cluster & Innovation Ecosystem Analysis: Mapping and strengthening regional strengths, weaknesses, and collaboration networks to drive green economic development.
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Facilitation: Designing and negotiating partnership frameworks that align public policy goals with private sector innovation and investment.
Societal Readiness & Public Engagement
Building the essential social license to operate.
We ensure your innovations are met with trust, not resistance, by engaging communities as active partners.
Societal Readiness Assessment: Diagnosing the alignment of your project with public values, concerns, and acceptance levels.
Deliberative Dialogue & Co-Creation Workshops: Designing and facilitating forums, citizen juries, and workshops to integrate public voice directly into project design.
Stakeholder Mapping & Strategy: Identifying key influencers, opponents, and allies to build effective communication and engagement campaigns.
Equity, Ethics & Responsible Innovation
Embedding fairness and responsibility into your core strategy.
We provide the guardrails and guidance to ensure your growth is equitable and ethically grounded.
Gender Equality and Social Equity Mainstreaming: Integrating principles of fairness and inclusion into all aspects of your organization’s projects and internal processes.
Ethical Impact Assessments: Identifying and mitigating potential negative social consequences and ethical risks before they manifest.
Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) Framework Implementation: Embedding proven RRI principles into your R&D and corporate strategy to build trust and anticipate societal concerns.
Our Role in Your EU Proposal
Strengthening the Critical Impact & Exploitation Sections
We partner with consortia to develop the most compelling parts of the proposal: proving the societal value and creating a clear path for results to be used beyond the project’s life.
- Expert Contribution: We lead or co-develop the Impact & Exploitation sections, crafting a credible narrative that directly links your project’s outcomes to EU policy goals (Green Deal, SDGs). Our Intelligent Systems Lab provides the technical backbone for this, creating data-driven forecasts, simulations, and visualizations that quantitatively substantiate your project’s potential impact.
- SSH Integration Strategy: We design and articulate how Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) are seamlessly woven throughout the project to ensure societal readiness, ethical soundness, and market acceptance.
- Impact Pathway Development: We map the journey from research activities to tangible societal, economic, and policy impacts. Tools from our Intelligent Systems Lab, such as system dynamics models, allow us to create and validate these pathways, demonstrating a logical and convincing theory of change.
- Exploitation & Business Plan Drafting: We develop the initial exploitation strategy. Here, our Intelligent Systems Lab contributes by building functional prototypes, demonstrators, or simulators that serve as powerful, tangible evidence of exploitable results, making your proposal far more competitive.
- Custom Algorithm & Software Development: We design and build the core intelligence for your project. This includes creating bespoke machine learning models, AI-powered analysis tools, and specialized simulators for a wide range of applications—from modeling environmental systems and optimizing energy grids to accelerating pharmaceutical research, predicting agricultural yields, and understanding complex social dynamics.
Partnership in EU Proposals & Projects
Your Dedicated Experts for Societal & Economic Impact
Join your consortium as the specialist partner for all matters relating to society, policy, and sustainable economics.
- Consortium Partner: We formally join your project to lead work packages focused on:
- Societal Impact Assessment & Public Engagement
- Policy Analysis & Recommendation Development
- Ethics, Gender Equality, and Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI)
- Techno-Economic Analysis & Business Modelling
*As part of our work, our Intelligent Systems Lab can develop custom software tools, AI models, or interactive dashboards that become key project deliverables, ensuring lasting impact and usability.
- Methodology & Evaluation Design: We strengthen the proposal by designing robust frameworks for monitoring socio-economic impact. Our Lab can implement these frameworks by developing the software and analytical models for real-time impact tracking and evaluation against both technical and societal KPIs.
Socio-Economic Analysis for Decision-Making
Providing the Evidence for Impact
We deliver the data-driven intelligence that underpins a strong proposal and guides successful project execution.
- Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA): Preliminary analysis to validate the economic feasibility and scalability of project outcomes. Our Intelligent Systems Lab can build scalable cost models and scenario analysis tools that bring these assessments to life.
- Social Return on Investment (SROI) Frameworks: Designing the methodology to quantify the social and environmental value your project will generate. The Lab’s predictive analytics and modelling capabilities are crucial for projecting and quantifying this long-term value.
- Market & Ecosystem Analysis: Researching the landscape to identify barriers and opportunities. We employ AI-driven data mining and analysis from our Lab to uncover non-obvious market trends and stakeholder networks.
Policy & Ecosystem Development
Ensuring Results Shape the Real World
We translate project results into actionable tools for policymakers and ecosystems, a key impact for many EU calls.
- Policy Brief & Recommendation Development: Creating targeted, evidence-based policy outputs. Our Intelligent Systems Lab can go a step further by developing interactive policy simulators or digital twins, allowing policymakers to visualize the effects of different decisions before they are made.
- Stakeholder Engagement Plans: Designing strategies to engage relevant actors. The Lab creates engaging digital tools and platforms to facilitate this engagement, making the process more inclusive and far-reaching.
- Ecosystem Building & Collaboration Facilitation: Helping to create the networks necessary for your project’s results to be adopted and sustained.
