Planning for impact: Thursday 2nd December, 9.30-11.30
Do you want to ensure your research has real-world impact? Would you like to understand how to integrate impact into your project plan to enhance the chance of getting funding? This new online impact training session provides the tools and insights you need.
Impact consultant Saskia Gent, director of Insights for Impact, explores how to plan for impact throughout the research lifecycle. The session addresses the key elements of impact planning by asking five questions: why, who, what, how and how do we know?
This approach enables you to consider your impact goals, identify relevant beneficiaries and stakeholders, plan engagement activities and consider evidence requirements and opportunities.
Sign up here.
This session is useful for you, whichever stage of your research career you are at, and ECRs are welcome to attend. You are also encouraged to attend if you are considering applying for the Research Impact Fund (which closes 10th December).
Sign up soon for training to maximise the impact of your public engagement
