Description:
This session will empower you to work more effectively with researchers to generate real-world impacts from their work. You will be able to equip colleagues with practical tools, so they can develop meaningful impact, even if they have only very limited time. The training is based on the latest research evidence and takes a unique relational approach to deliver wide-reaching and lasting impacts. As part of the session you will receive a copy of the acclaimed The Research Impact Handbook (275 pages) for future reference, and you will have the opportunity to sign up for free follow-up training and support that you can use yourself or with colleagues.
Key benefits:
- Learn about evidence-based principles for delivering research impact in limited time
- Be challenged to think critically about how to plan for, track and evidence impacts
- Discover easy and quick-to-use templates you can use with researchers to:
- Identify beneficiaries of your research, those who may be negatively affected by your work, and those who have the power to facilitate or block your impact
- Create a powerful impact plan for any research project
- Learn how to structure conversations to empower researchers to achieve impact, manage challenging power dynamics and difficult individuals, and gain confidence in supporting researchers on their pathways to impact
- Critically consider how best to support researchers to achieve impact through their digital footprint without risking their time or reputation
