"This proposal is responding to the first FP7- AERONAUTICS and AIR TRANSPORT call topics TPT.2007.6 "Development of methodology and evaluation of the impact of FP5 and FP6 projects in the field of Transport". The consortium is proposing a methodology founded on three basic impact criteria (MEFISTO Methodology): - the leverage effect - the driving effect - the structuring effect to measure the impact of FP5/FP6 on the European Unions Research and Technology development in the area of transport. The first major output of the work will be a description of the process methodology developed for assessing the impact of FP5 and 6 on a variety of issues of importance to each particular sector. The second major output will be a demonstration of this process methodology in use in one sector, the aviation sector. This will include the assessed results generated for that sector. The third major output will be a description of the process(es) necessary to adapt the process for use in another particular transport sector. This will include the ways in which the different conditions applicable should be recognised and the different impact areas identified."
