Impact can be described as the benefits that research brings to society, beyond academia. Research impact can take many forms, including economic, environmental, health and well-being, technological, cultural, and more. These benefits can arise both from positive outcomes and from the prevention of negative outcomes. Planning your research with impact in mind gives it the best chance of making a meaningful difference to society, reduces the risk of research outputs being underutilised (sitting on the shelf!), and ensures outputs and knowledge is accessible to beneficiaries and broader society. Demonstrating impact can also contribute to a culture of impact within your organisation and, raise your profile as a researcher locally, nationally, and internationally.
This workshop for SETU postgraduate students, will introduce the concept of impact, the policies and initiatives driving research impact and the engaged research agenda. It will also provide tools for stakeholder engagement, impact planning, and documenting/reporting impact. The workshop will be delivered online via Zoom, with supporting templates provided.
