5th June 2025, Impact & Engagement Workshop in Bath, including AHRC & British Academy
Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, Bath, 1000-1600 (optional to 1700)
The impact and public engagement agenda in the UK and internationally are rapidly changing the nature of academic work across disciplines and affecting the shape of academic careers and post-doctoral research opportunities more widely.
It is important to understand how the opportunities and requirements produced by this shift can help Early Career Researchers strengthen their research portfolios, networks, and ultimately help secure an interesting and meaningful research career.
Join us for a day of workshopping, discussions and networking where we’ll benefit from the insights of experts and peers on impact and public engagement in humanities and social sciences research.
We will be guided towards fruitful ways of (re)imagining our research, extending its reach, building academic and non-academic collaborations, and strengthening our standing in the national and international research space.
