Through this consultancy, CSIL experts developed guidelines for the evaluation (ex-ante, in itinere or ex-post) of the social benefits of the results produced by RSE research activities. The methodology was drawn from cost-benefit analysis and included the mapping and understanding of the activities carried out by RSE, the fine-tuning of the methodology to the specificities of such activities and the test of the methodology to selected case studies. The service included training and coaching RSE staff for the application of the methodology and the use of the guidelines.
