The pragmatics of achieving impact often seem difficult to achieve, evidence and measure. Yet demonstrating the reach and significance of your impact is vital for a successful REF submission.
This engaging afternoon event will showcase outstanding examples of research impact in the social sciences with the opportunity to hear about different types of impact for a broad range of stakeholders. The session will also include a Q&A Panel, presentation on evidence gathering and a facilitated interactive session on evaluating impact.
Suitable for academic, research and professional staff interested in impact at any career stage.
