Routes to Impact: How to Identify and Record Activities, Engagement, and Impact

This short one-hour course will outline the differences between Impact itself (the difference your research makes in the world) and various routes to impact—including engagement, dissemination, relationship development, and outreach. The goal of the session is to support staff in research and research-supporting roles to understand and articulate the differences between these crucial types of work, and to highlight how these can be recorded using the University’s existing systems.

This course is suitable for all staff interested in better understanding research impact, and will include interactive elements and time for questions.
