PHD COURSE IMPACT AND THE UTILISATION OF RESEARCH (4.5 credits)

This course contains a number of methods that can be used as support to ensure that your research has impact and relevance beyond the university. The course also gives you tools that help you best communicate the value of your research to research funders and potential investors.

The findings, experiences, and ideas that emerge from research have traditionally been utilised through academic publication and teaching programmes. However, academic impact alone is no longer enough for a successful research career. With the growing emphasis in the research funding landscape on maximising impact beyond academia, it is increasingly important that researchers reach wider society by embedding non-academic impact strategies in their projects, by working with a range of non-academic partners and by using ever more innovative methods of dissemination and utilisation.

Course Highlights:

Idea Development: Learn how to develop and communicate your research ideas effectively.

Research Impact: Understand how to embed impact in your projects.

Expert Sessions: Gain insights from researchers across various disciplines and experts in intellectual property rights, entrepreneurship, and networking.
