HERE’S WHAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT:
This exclusive online event is broken down into the following sections:
WHAT MAKES THIS EVENT DIFFERENT?
#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.
These 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, 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.

Your Host
Hi, I’m Tamika Heiden – host of the Research Impact Summit.
I’m a knowledge translation expert and the founder of Knowledge Translation Australia, a consultancy working to bridge the research to practice gap.
Over the last few years, I have worked across many organisations from funders to universities and places in between. I am always on the lookout for how I can help others to create greater benefits and impact of the research endeavour, and I like to learn from the best.
Come join me and let’s take our research impact efforts to the next level.
I’ll see you on November 19 & 20!
Last year viewers loved the summit!
