This workshop has as main objective to bring together researchers working in this broad area of project appraisal and impact assessment methodologies, contributing to both theoretical and methodological advances.

During the workshop, researchers will be invited to discuss assessment methodology applications to energy, mobility as well as other real world applications. Contributions regarding the development of new or the improvement of known methodologies are also welcome.
