Collecting and Communicating the Evidence of Impact
Do you want to document the societal impacts and benefits of research, engagement, and expertise? Join us for this session where you’ll learn about the Co-produced Pathway to Impact and explore a tool to write impact and engagement case studies. This tool features a stakeholder interview guide and a case study template that reflects contributions of academic and non-academic partners.
Map your pathway from research to impact:
Understand contribution analysis and how it informs a semi-structured interview guide to collect the evidence of impact retrospectively but also throughout the research to impact journey. Understand what is needed to draft a case study of your research impact
The tool is available in English and French and is the subject of a book chapter attached and referenced below. There will be a learning part and a working part. If you wish to stay for the working part of the session please come prepared to think about a research project you are involved with or you supported.
