Research Impact - what is it and how do I get it?

Research Impact. We have all heard the term but what does it actually mean?

Join us for a session on Research Impact where we will talk through what impact you might be making with your research; consider what questions you need to ask your supervisor about Research Impact and feel more confident about Research Impact more generally.

As a reminder this is the University's definition of Research Impact and also some links to helpful guides:

Impact, based upon research excellence (applied; user-engaged and basic), is the identifiable and evidenced contribution made by Universities to the economy and society. These benefits are broad and diverse and can be experienced in a myriad of different contexts. They include the diversity of ways in which research-derived knowledge and skills benefit individuals, organisations (public, private and “third sector” and nation states through:

Enhancing the economic competitiveness of the United Kingdom and global economic performance;

Improving and enhancing the effective delivery of public services and policy development;

Improving quality of life; health and wellbeing and creativity.

Impacts, from Research Related activities, are derived through many different mechanisms across the university including (but not restricted to) publicly funded research; collaborative or contract research; consultancy; staff exchanges; licensing and spin out companies; public, policy and cultural engagement, Continuing Professional

Development (CPD); and training and student enterprise. Find out more here:
