Delivering research impact: how to ensure your research makes a difference (new date)

Delivering research impact: how to ensure your research makes a difference (new date)

Dr Miggie Pickton and Nick Dimmock

Research funders increasingly expect to see value for the money they invest in research. One way of demonstrating this is through the impact of the research on scientific progress, economy and society.

This workshop will examine the ways in which researchers can reach and influence both academic and non-academic audiences. From designing impact into your project plan, to realising it through dissemination activity, attendees will be encouraged to share their own experiences of delivering impact and devise new ways to demonstrate the value of their own research.

At the end of this workshop attendees will have the knowledge and skills to:

• Define what is meant by ‘impact’
• Appreciate the different types of research impact and the benefits that accrue from these
• Understand how to maximise the impact of their own research

[This workshop was orginally due to run on May 21st but was rescheduled. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.]

This workshop is open to early career researchers and any student currently registered on a research degree programme at the University of Northampton. Further information is available from Simone Apel (simone.apel@northampton.ac.uk; 01604 893418).
