This year’s impact assessment survey was conducted between February 2018 and March 2018 and distributed to ITEM stakeholders and other interested parties. ITEM received numerous written responses to this survey from various partners. In addition, topics may also be highlighted in the context of ITEM’s day-to-day activities under the ITEM annual cycle. Another way of identifying topics is for ITEM to conduct a quick scan of policy initiatives or programmes. After screening the submitted dossiers and topics, the final selection of dossiers was made based on the advice of the Working Group on Border Effects.
The current research dossiers are the result of a successful collaboration between ITEM, its researchers and its partners.
