To cover the objectives of the project, 8 intellectual products were developed, from a meta-analysis containing a quantitative review of the relationship between the antisocial behaviour of delinquents and the neuropsychological measures of executive functions, a study and an evaluation report from the neuropsychological point of view of the NEAE-related functions of adult inmate students to various reports, aimed at decision-makers in the educational and penitentiary spheres, as well as professionals related to the aforementioned spheres.The meta-analysis included 58 independent studies, 30 with standardized comparison group and 28 with comparison group among prisoners in which a total of 3210 participants have been evaluated.For products 2 and 3, data were obtained from a total of 415 participants (301 prisoners and 114 standardised) from 5 European prisons, 19% of whom had a juvenile justice background.The rest of the study is devoted to establishing an overall intervention strategy and provides a series of guidelines and strategies for intervention and socio-educational innovation to enable the establishment of appropriate policies and for prison technical, guidance and teaching staff, the ultimate aim of which is to increase school success rates among prisoners in EU countries. Visibility and transferability to other European countries to achieve the greatest impact and dissemination of their results and products is guaranteed, based on the solidity of the products created and, so far, with the whole series of dissemination activities that have been carried out, including the constant contact of the partner institutions with their respective stakeholders, the three multiplier events organised, the advocacy letter sent, the website www.calypsos.eu and, from now on, also the project results platform. All this will allow the material and the recommendations to be available to any person or institution related to the subject of the project. The impact will not stop with the completion of the project; rather, on the contrary, it will become larger. Educational changes are always slow and need a lot of time to become effective and generalized. But when the improvements come, they always remain."
