Overton - shows the impact of research on policy development

The Overton database shows the impact of research on policy development

Overton is a database that can be used to identify and measure the impact of research on policy development.

Overton searches through policy documents, official documents, government guidelines and reports from think tanks and other non-governmental organizations and shows the research that the material refers to. Read more on Overton's website.

If you want to know more about Overton, we offer a presentation focusing on the following:

  • Show the reach of your research outside academia in promotions, evaluations and tenure applications
  • Get evidence of policy influence for grant applications and evaluations
  • Analyze your institution's most influential areas and develop research strategies with clear impact pathways
  • Find materials for impact case studies

Please note that the event is held in English by Nathalie Cornée from Overton.

Welcome on Tuesday, October 29 at 1:30-2:30 pm via Zoom 

Overton is available to Linnaeus University employees and students via this link.
