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.
