Without credible evidence, valuable research impacts can go unrecognized by funders, policymakers, and assessors

This practical workshop gives you the tools to evaluate your research’s significance and reach, and to evidence these impacts convincingly. You will learn how to choose the right evaluation methods, capture compelling data, and overcome common challenges. This workshop also addresses the key challenges involved in evidencing research impact, including demonstrating the ‘golden thread’ from underpinning research to real-world benefits. With opportunities to refine your own evaluation and evidencing plans during the session, you will leave with a tailored approach to tracking, assessing, and communicating the value of your research.
