This in-person introductory session ran in July 2024. It introduced the essentials of impact and knowledge exchange, including their drivers and how they relate to national initiatives such as the Research Excellence Framework (REF). Attendees reflected on their own impact goals and began considering steps towards achieving impact. Guest speaker Dr Penny Bickle, Senior Lecturer in Archaeology and REF2021 case study co-author, discussed her own experiences of engaging with varied stakeholders and achieving impact from her research. We also signposted towards further support available at the university, including training, toolkits, funding and dedicated staff who can help.
