The SynSICRIS team is developing a monitoring tool and an assessment approach for public funded projects. These tools are intended to better capture the potential societal benefits of application-oriented research. We want to make the societal benefits of research and development more visible in the scientific community as well as in practice and society.

The monitoring tool and assessment approach are to be used in research funding and by research institutions. There, they support impact-oriented research and funding processes and create synergies.

The monitoring tool and assessment approach provide a basis for helping researchers and research institutions to increase the acknowledgement of their societal achievements in the scientific community in addition to their scientific impact.

The monitoring tool and assessment approach should lead to results that are relevant to practice and facilitate the networking of research with practice and society.
