Seven public sector partners across the UK have undertaken a major research project to develop a comprehensive Event Impact Framework for the UK events sector. 

The purpose of the framework is to broaden and standardise the way in which the impacts of major events are measured. The framework tool is being developed to assist event funders, event organisers and event research contractors in moving towards a better defined group of impact measures, with associated guidance on how to capture these impacts.  

The project partners are UK Sport, EventScotland, VistBritain, London Development Agency, North West Development Agency, Yorkshire Forward, and Glasgow City Marketing Bureau.
