impact of transportation policies on short- and long-term spatial development in the EU by developing a unified as- sessment framework for transport project and transport policies at the European level inte- grating network, regional economic and macro-economic impacts. The project responds to Subtasks 2, 4 and 5 of Task 2.1.2/4 of the Cluster 'Socio-economic Impacts of Transport Investments and Policy and Network Effects' of Key Action 2 'Sustain- able Mobility and Intermodality' of Objective 2.1: 'Socio-Economic Scenarios for Mobility of People and Goods' of the Thematic Programme 'Promoting Competitive and Sustainable Growth' of the 5th Framework Programme for Research and Technology Development of the European Union. At the heart of the IASON project lie the following activities: - improvement of existing assessment frameworks by ensuring that direct and indirect im- pacts are clearly distinguished within the appraisal, and that the incidence of benefits and costs and sources of additionality and/or double-counting are transparent; - a systematic and quantitative analysis of the network, spatial and socio-economic impacts of transport investments and policies by refining existing EU-level models and carrying out scenario simulations; - building up and maintaining a discussion platform for the cluster in order to facilitate inter- actions between Subtask 5, the other subtasks of the cluster and the scientific community; - building guidelines and recommendations for project analysis of transport investments and policies and for the development of supporting tools and databases in order to improve the applicability of the outputs of the project in policy analysis. The main innovations of the IASON project lie in the field of the methodological research on project assessment, its further development in order to allow applications at the EU level and the proposed modelling approach, which has not yet been applied in this conjunction before. Based upon this structure, at the end of the project an effective tool to evaluate in a coherent way the aspects of sustainability, cohesion, environmental-friendliness and efficiency of transport policies and projects will exist. The consortium of IASON consists of partners from six countries: Christian-Albrechts
