​Course description

​

This session will give you the foundation to generate real-world impacts from your research. This highly interactive session will give you the opportunity to learn and practice using new tools to time-efficiently increase the significance and reach your impact. The training is based on the latest research evidence and takes a unique empathy and relationship-centred approach to deliver lasting impacts. In the session, you will start identifying who is most relevant to engage with your research and learn how to co-produce a theory of change and impact plan with those you identified. All participants receive an e-book copy of the second edition of The Research Impact Handbook and free access or discount codes for Prof Reed’s other books.​
