IMPATTO

Science outreach is part of the mission of Research Institutions, and, in recent years, it has become an integral component of institutional activities, thanks to the involvement of researchers in science festivals aimed at student communities and the general public. Science communication is a fundamental aspect of a researcher’s work, as it helps to explain the cultural and social impact of research conducted in the academic world. Social impact evaluation is therefore a crucial step, as it allows reflection on the changes triggered in the target communities, while providing research organisations with the opportunity to measure results for beneficiaries and key stakeholders, thus providing a guide for better future action and simple and effective communication of scientific results.
