Engagement and Academic Promotions
Engagement, Impact and Outreach have been recognised in Warwick's Academic Promotions criteria since the 2018/19 promotions cycle. The Promotion and Impact, Outreach and Engagement Review Learning Circle was commissioned by the Provost to revisit and update examples of evidence for Impact, Outreach and Engagement (I, O, E) cited in the University’s Promotions Criteria. This wider set of examples has now been incorporated since the 21-22 Academic Promotions CriteriaLink opens in a new window.
We've worked with the Learning Circle and other colleagues to put together the following resources to help you in developing your promotions case.
Developing your promotions application
Promotion and Impact, Outreach and Engagement Review Learning Circle
Our promotions learning circle runs annual support sessions for colleagues to help them with the Impact, Outreach and Engagement part of their application. They run one for those looking to apply for senior teaching fellow/ senior research fellow/ associate professor, and one for those looking to apply for Professor/ Research. You can watch back the recording from the 2022 sessions in this section.
