Fast track your research impact
Online course
​Course description
​
This session will give you everything you need 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.
