Deliverable D 6.1 Impact Assessment Framework

This deliverable presents the Impact Assessment Framework (part of Task 6.1) developed for evaluating the Living Lab interventions implemented across the six Living Labs of the DREAMS-project: Brussels, Budapest, Munich, Paris, Utrecht and Vienna. As a starting point, this Deliverable reflects on the reasons to conduct evaluation, explaining the different types of evaluation that will be used in the DREAMS project and their most important concepts. We look into different timings of evaluation and what type of data needs to be collected, when and why, per evaluation type. The deliverable also explains the uses of stakeholder evaluation, Stakeholder-Based Impact Scoring (SIS), and what is needed to conduct such an analysis. Then, an overview is given of the establishment of the DREAMS Evaluation Framework, as well as how the data collection plans per Living Lab were created. These data collection plans detail each Living Lab's objectives, interventions, expected impacts, as well as indicators and target. This also includes an overview of what data needs to be collected, how, by whom and when. Furthermore, it includes a first overview of the stakeholder assessment (part of Task 6.2) to be conducted in each Living Lab. For this, the Deliverable includes an overview of each Living Lab’s relevant stakeholders, their goals, and the interventions alternatives. This Deliverable serves as a both a guideline and a report for the Living Lab’s interventions: it is expected to regularly receive updates as the interventions take place. These changes are reflected in the document change record.
