How do you evidence that a change (socially, economically, politically or culturally) has happened as a result of your research? How do you evaluate your engagement activities and the resultant impact? Collecting evidence of your impactful activities is important to keep track of your research project, to manage your stakeholders and to evaluate and communicate the impact of your research effectively.
This interactive workshop will help you understand how you can monitor, evaluate and evidence the impact of your research. Learning outcomes include the acquisition of an understanding of:
-
Different types of impact evidence and how to source them
-
How to engage stakeholders and partners in evidence collection
-
Uses for impact evidence within and beyond REF.
