Approach

The framework for SIAMPI’s efforts to identify productive interactions, develop an assessment method and to test it, is the following:

STEP 1: Mission identification

Identify the mission and goals of the research Group/ programme or funding instrument, and ways that are set out to achieve these. This includes the identification of social impacts that are intended or achieved.

STEP 2: Analysis of productive interaction

To analyse which interactions are established, or aimed at, and whether they are (expected) results or impacts.

STEP 3: Stakeholder consultation

To learn from relevant stakeholders how they collaborate with researchers, what their expectations are and how they view the (expected) results or impacts.

STEP 4: Feedback

Together with researchers, stakeholders and relevant experts, critically look at the methodological development that emerges from the case study.
