Research project “Social Impact Manager” (SIM)”, Erasmus+ (EDU-2022-PI-ALL-INNO)

What is the SIM project

The aim of the SIM project is to gradually change the attitudes and perceptions of society towards the concept of social value, creating conditions in which the invocation of social value and social impact will increasingly become a prerequisite for the implementation of actions, initiatives and investments. The term social impact is used interchangeably with the term social outcome or social benefit. In this context, the SIM project seeks to establish the role of the Social Impact Manager as a new profession that will identify the values created by the allocation of funds, while creating a more effective system of social control. Ex-ante social impact assessment contributes to a) a holistic approach to value from the economic, environmental and social aspects, b) providing reliable and meaningful information through numerical results on the effectiveness of actions, c) improving the evaluative capacity of all those affected by the implementation of projects, actions and investments, d) gradually changing attitudes and perceptions as to what is considered socially beneficial, and e) improving the efficiency/effectiveness in terms of cost.
