What is Research Impact?
As you know we are already a quarter of the way through the next Research Excellence Framework cycle. Therefore Vertigo Ventures, a leading impact specialist, is hosting a FREE webinar on research impact.
This one-hour intensive session, is aimed at supporting those new to research impact. Using our experience of writing impact statements for a consortium of academics and having developed the Vertigo Ventures Impact Tracker tool, the training we offer is comprehensive and up-to-date with reporting guidelines.
The webinar will address:
- What is wider research impact beyond citations
- What are the HEFCE and RCUK definitions of impact
- Why is impact important to your research and your career
- How can this impact be tracked and evidenced
Delivered in a convenient and concise format, the presentation will leave you better equipped with new, practical techniques to understand, capture and report the impact of your research.
Attendees of the FREE webinar will also receive a complimentary two week trial of VV-Impact Tracker (subject to availability).
