- Malika Meddahi (CERN)
Increasingly funders of public investment in science and technology require applicants to demonstrate the expected socio-economic returns of their projects. While the scientific case is obviously the top priority for researchers when they propose a new project, it is helpful to know why and how the funders have an interest on impact studies, and what is the potential reward for scientists to...
Building on international practice and previous experience in evaluating the socio-economic impacts of Big Science projects, a model to estimate the future impacts of FCC-ee has been developed. This presentation will recall the definitions of the impact pathways considered and the fundamental assumptions used to perform the analysis.
The FCC innovation study requires an analysis to better understand the impact that FCC-ee will have on supplier companies, and the mechanisms through which the procurement relationship might generate benefits for the industry. By capitalising on previous research on (HL-)LHC, the presentation provides preliminary results of a new analysis where the economic multiplier of the FCC-ee procurement...
