#1 – Learn from others experience, hear from the experts how research impact can be done more efficiently and effectively
Don’t spend years trying to “figure it out” and learn everything for yourself. Why waste your precious time experimenting when you can learn directly from people who’ve done what you want to do. The carefully selected speakers will empower you by teaching you what really works, so you can develop your own pathways to research impact.
#2 – Watch at your convenience
There’s no flight or hotel room to book and definitely no conference fee… not to mention the time away from your research. You can watch the sessions online at your own convenience, and each interview will be live for 72 hours.
#3- Action packed interviews with researchers, translation experts and policy drivers
No boring talking heads! You get to see the expert speakers, and I have a real and raw conversation about a topic in-depth, with instant takeaways and actionable advice you can use immediately.
WHO SHOULD WATCH THE SUMMIT?
- Researchers & academics wanting to improve engagement with stakeholders external to the university.
- University employees and research administrators wanting to better support research impact.
- Research funders who fund impact activities but want to hear the realities faced during the process.
- Early career researchers that want to get ahead of the rest, stand out and create a big impact from their research.
- People that want to hear about the latest tools, tips, tricks, trials and tribulations of bridging the research to practice gap.
RESEARCH IMPACT MATTERS
Research impact has become the globally expected norm!
- Academics are being asked to demonstrate that their research has impact.
- Academics are now expected to provide evidence that their publicly funded research is making a difference to society in some way
This ever expanding requirement to show impact has caused some confusion, despair, and even mild panic among the academy.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Strategies for successful stakeholder engagement
- Considerations for collaboration with non-academic stakeholders
- Alternative and innovative ways of disseminating your knowledge
- Institutional and organisational strategies to support research translation and impact
- The value of intermediary organisations in facilitating impact
- Hear from research funders about how they fund translation and measure the impact of their investment in research
- The key elements that go into writing a research impact case study
- Benefits, pitfalls and interesting insights on the impact agenda globally
- International perspectives on knowledge translation and research impact
