Taking place once a term, Interchange is a community of practice series organised by the Impact Teams supporting the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences. Each session focuses on a different topic or aspect of research impact, and will host speakers with experience in that area who will share an overview of their work and the insights they have gained. This will be followed by a Q&A, as well as a chance to further discuss the topic, network, and for the audience to share any experience and reflections they might have, too. The next session will look at ‘Getting Started with Impact’ - join a panel of humanities and social sciences researchers who have recently embarked upon a journey to deriving impact from their research as they discuss the experience, what has worked for them, and answer questions.

This 90-minute webinar provides a basic foundation of what research impact is and how this is supported at Warwick. It will equip participants with practical advice on how best to explore pathways to impact from different disciplines, and incorporate a presentation from a Warwick researcher who has been involved in impact.

This webinar provides an overview of how to measure and evaluate activities in order to collect evidence of research impact. It will incorporate a presentation from a Warwick researcher who has experience evaluating the impact of their research. The session will include opportunities for Q&As and discussion and will provide examples of best practice.

This workshop enables participants to develop skills and knowledge in communicating research and how to access relevant users and stakeholders. It provides a comprehensive overview of a range of methods which can be utilised to communicate research and the pros and cons for each. The workshop will also explore how to identify relevant stakeholders, users, audiences and beneficiaries of research and how to adjust research for each. Understand a range of ways to communicate research (including workshops, roundtables, conferences, websites, social media, press, TV and radio, town hall meetings, policy briefings and recommendations).

Session facilitated by the Warwick Institute of Engagement and delivered by external public engagement expert, Dr Jamie Gallagher:

Demonstrating the impact of research has never been more important, but what does successful impact through public engagement look like? This workshop guides you step-by-step through the processes to maximise the chances of your work fostering real and long-lasting change outside of academia.

This training will focus on identifying the audience, making your research relevant, writing effective recommendations, and active and passive dissemination.
