Members of the scientific community can find many insights for their own theoretical and empirical research projects; practitioners in both the private and third sector and public officials can find ideas from the analyzed case studies to improve the implementation of theirs programs and activities.” (Andrea Bassi, Applied Research Quality Life, Vol. 13, 2018)
