A. Research Group description
The Research Group Modelling Societal Impact focuses on providing methodological insights into the societal impacts of innovations, policies and other initiatives. Our research aims to make public and/or private investments easier to account for. It can also help to ensure that innovations, policies and other initiatives deliver maximum societal value in practice and in stakeholder engagement. To determine the societal impact and value, we use tools such as the social cost-benefit analysis (SCBA). This enables us to not only examine the intended short- and long-term effects, but also the potential side effects and, above all, the impact of all these effects on society.
B. Research Lines
1. Impact of an inclusive society
2. Impact of collaboration in complexity and transition
3. Impact of societal and technical innovations
4. Impact of practice-oriented research
C. Research Award
In 2025, the research group received a European research award from the Confederation of European Probation (CEP), the Probation Research Award. The jury indicated that our ongoing work was already of great value to the field.
