Research with Impact
This engaging program teaches the fundamentals of research impact – what it is and how it can be embedded into every step of the research journey – to help support universities in embedding a broader culture of research impact.
Modules include plentiful real-world case studies, inspiring stories and video interviews representing a range of researchers from across disciplines and at different career stages. Researchers are also encouraged to reflect on their own context. Activities are designed so that researchers can choose their own path through the content, whether that’s related to specific disciplines or national contexts.
This program is relevant to researchers at all levels, with particular relevance for doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career researchers. It is suitable across all major disciplines.
