 lves balancing the needs of many stakeholders striving for excellence in a
 reas beyond the basic research mandate. One instance of this is the need t
 o measure their impact\, especially impact brought about through their inn
 ovation\, transfer and valorisation activities. This is exacerbated by EU 
 orthodoxy that states that large research infrastructures in Europe are un
 derperforming in terms of innovation. Our socio-economic study\, the Compa
 rative Analysis of Socio-Economic Impact (CASEIA)\, developed an analytica
 l framework and methodology for better understanding the socio-economic im
 pact of valorisation/innovation interventions applied to large research in
 frastructures like FAIR\, but tailored for small university projects.\n\nO
 ur case study analysis aimed to better understand how innovation projects 
 at FAIR perform with and without intervention\, leading to socio-economic 
 impacts such as strengthened innovation ecosystems\, commercial applicatio
 ns of innovation\, skills development\, and broader social goods. Our anal
 ysis of socio-economic impact leads to conclusions and recommendations in 
 three broad areas. The first area is that of routes to impact\, including 
 the roles of research infrastructures and businesses\, open innovation\, a
 nd impacts that fall beyond innovation. The second area is that of technol
 ogical Serendipity\, and the efforts of valorisation interventions to syst
 ematise mechanisms that may support it\, without addressing the specific n
 eeds of large research infrastructures. Finally\, we reflect on CASEIA as 
 a pilot study\, and consider its potential contribution to research at the
  science/technology interface\, and make methodological recommendations fo
 r future valorisation interventions aimed at large research infrastructure
