the SEQUOIA partners will develop a sound socioeconomic methodology for the measurement of the impact of SaaS and IoS research projects.

This methodology will firstly be applied to measure the potential impact of already funded projects. During this phase the methodology will be optimized and in its final release it will enable new projects to self-evaluate their potential output in terms of socioeconomic benefits, and possibly re-orient their activities to improve such impact.

In order to maximise the effectiveness of the research outputs, SEQUOIA will analyse each project's technological outputs not only in terms of innovation and improvement relative to the state of the art and to socio-economic sustainability but also in terms of transferability to the whole of society in general and to SMEs in particular.

The following picture shows an high-level roadmap of the SEQUOIA methodology:
