This event is open to ADM+S Centre Members only

In this online masterclass, Prof Swee Mak, Associate Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation Capability) and Professor of Innovation at RMIT University, will introduce the concept of impact and impact narrative. A number of activities are embedded in the session to ensure engagement and invoke discussion amongst participants.

To help participants craft their own impact narratives, the session will:

• Explain the need to communicate your research to a wide audience and why storytelling is much more than reporting the results of research
• Provide an overview of basic impact concepts and principles
• Emphasise the importance of understanding outcomes, beneficial change and impact pathways
• Discuss the difference between past, emerging and potential impact

In addition, participants will get the chance to ask Prof Swee Mak questions in relation to impact and learn more on how RMIT is embedding impact into its’ research culture.

“This would have to be the most informative and useful session I have ever attended on research impact. Not only was the information clearly presented, the guidance that was provided made writing an impact narrative a very simple and easy process. This is the type of session that should be made available to all universities in Australia to help researchers better understand the importance of research impact and the different ways of achieving it.” – Chris D.

This masterclass will be held online via Zoom.

Open to all ADM+S Centre Members.
