Previous Event : Academic Communication Problems: Helping PRISMs communicate research

Session Recording   Problems with academic comms - Zoom

Communicating research can be a thorny issue, you often have different stakeholders with different levels of interest, knowledge and motivation. Getting these groups to all communicate well is tricky. This workshop looks at some of the major issues that cause things to go wrong and provides thoughts and techniques to help keep everything on track.

Impact & Engagement for PRISMs

Join Dr Eve Cosgrave, Deputy Head of Faculty Research, to understand how PRISMs can contribute & get involved in Research Impact.

Measuring impact is a way to show that something is being achieved. Measuring research impact is quantifying the change or benefit in the real world due to such activities. This session will look at how we measure and assess research impact and how PRISMs can contribute to this process through activities such as identifying relevant quantifiable impact, providing advice on materials to strengthen impact, helping to develop impact case studies, sharing good practice and materials relating to impact & engagement.
