SMCE is a methodology that allows comparing policy options by integrating a plurality of technical aspects and social views in a coherent and transparent manner. In this training, participants will get an introduction to the overall methodology, its application in EC impact assessments, and a brief introduction to the SOCRATES software, which has been specifically designed to support impact assessments grounded on the SMCE methodology.  By the end of the course, participants will be able to understand the basic principles of SMCE and how to apply them in the context of impact assessments.
