Role of the DG HochN

As a societal partner, DG HochN has a role as described below.

The IMP>ACT societal partners, are fully involved in all work packages of the project. Together with the research partners they provide input and feedback on the conceptualisation and operationalisation of the framework, facilitate the identification and evaluation of interventions, apply the IMP>ACT assessment framework in six case studies around the SCCE policies and practices within their own organisations, provide input for the validation of the framework, and leverage their networks and activities towards the exploitation of results.

In each participating country a National Stakeholder Group (NSG) has already been set up. These groups have representatives of all target audiences: public bodies (policymakers, educational professionals, professionals in large-scale assessments), civil society (educational network organisations, NGOs,), and student organisations as well as individual scientists and educators. 35 organisations are already committed to IMP>ACT. The NSGs will be involved throughout the project to identify relevant policies, as sounding boards and/or participants in interventions and case studies, reflect on preliminary results and co-produce policy briefs and recommendations. The active involvement and contribution of these stakeholders in the NSGs will ensure the viability of IMP>ACT’s results beyond the project’s lifetime.
