Research impact roundtables for doctoral researchers and staff

To continue our programme of impact roundtable events launched in summer 2021, which explore the experiences associated with creating and evidencing impact (including but not just focusing on REF2021 Impact Case Studies), we’re now setting up the next three events for Winter 2021.

Two are designed for all staff and one is designed for doctoral researchers.

Doctoral researchers should register to attend in Development Portal, all staff should register in my.HR (search for Research Impact). Please sign into the systems first, and click the booking link.
