Popis:	A typical two- or three-year research project hasan impact that is only really visible after the project has come to an end, at a time when there are no resources to monitor thatimpact. As a consequence, projects need to estimate/predict theirfuture impact before they end. In this paper we describe theimpact activity monitoring method in the FITMAN project. Thismethod addresses the problem by accounting for actions to raiseimpact during a project and the planning for such actions after aproject has ended. We also describe the socio-economic impactassessment methodology created in FITMAN, showing how thislinks to the impact activity monitoring method. Key to both is theassessment and monitoring of impact in three different areas:industry, society and the scientific community. Each arearepresents different challenges and we discuss their relative valueto the overall assessment. We also report on our earlyexperiences of applying this to ten industry-led use case trials inthe FITMAN project. The insights gained by applying thesemethodologies can be more widely applied across domainsrelated to technology management
