Welcome to IARC

Impact Assessment Research Centre

Promoting the integrated use of economic, environmental and social assessment for evidence-based policy and practice

Projects

The Impact Assessment Research Centre (IARC) at the University of Manchester aims to promote knowledge and practice of Impact Assessment. The increasing interest in evidence-based policy-making has raised new challenges and debates among impact assessment researchers and practitioners. By encouraging an integrated approach to impact assessment, the IARC seeks to strengthen the linkages between different impact assessment methodologies and practices. The work of IARC is multidisciplinary, and recognises that sustainable development can only be achieved on the basis of a balanced, context and time specific assessment of the economic, social and environmental impacts of policies, programmes and projects.
