HERE’S WHAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT:

This exclusive online event is broken down into the following sections:

KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION

You’ll learn about translation, the terminology involved, how to plan for it and how translation is related to impact.

DISSEMINATION & IMPLEMENTATION

Learn some interesting methods and tools to use for your research dissemination. Understand the processes of implementation.

RESEARCH IMPACT

Understand how others create and measure their impact and how you too can be efficient and effective in your impact endeavours.

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.

WHO SHOULD WATCH THIS SUMMIT?

Researchers wanting to improve engagement with industry.
University employees 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 research.
People that want to hear about the tools, tips, tricks, trials and tribulations of bridging the research to practice gap.

RESEARCH IMPACT MATTERS

Research impact is the new black!

Academics are being asked to demonstrate that their research has Impact.
Academics expected to provide evidence that their publicly funded research is making a difference to society in some way.

The requirement to show impact has caused some confusion, despair and even mild panic among the academy.

What you'll learn

What makes for successful knowledge translation planning
The do’s and don’ts of collaboration with non-academic stakeholders
Tools and platforms available to enhance your research career and impact opportunities
What is meant by implementation science and lessons learned from the field of implementation.

How to develop your research pitch for partners, stakeholder and funders
The key elements that go into writing a research impact case study
Benefits, pitfalls and interesting insights on the UK Research Excellence Framework
International perspectives on knowledge translation and research impact.

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 from 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 October 9th – 11th!
