  • What is it about?

    Understand provable benefits of research in the real world, outside academia. It explains what impact is (and what it isn’t), how it can be identified, measured, and demonstrated, and how strategies can be developed to maximize it.

    What will you obtain?

    • A basic understanding of what research impact means.

    • Tools to engage with stakeholders and users of research.

    • Knowledge on how to demonstrate and provide evidence of impact.

    • Guidance on developing an institutional or project-level impact strategy.

    What is it for?

    It is to ensure that research does not remain confined to academic circles but leads to real-world change—improving society, the economy, the environment, and people’s well-being. It helps researchers and institutions demonstrate accountability, align with funders’ expectations, build partnerships, and ensure that their work creates meaningful, measurable benefits.
