Course aims

This online webinar (delivered via MS Teams) will discuss what policy impact indicators are and how you can find them

Target audience

Researchers or research enabling staff who are looking to track the wider impact of research at the University of Nottingham.

Description

Policies shape the decisions, systems, and services that affect our everyday lives, so producing research that influences policies is one of the most important ways academics can have a real-world impact. However, it can be difficult to trace the connection between a publication and specific policy decision.

In this session we dive into the tools available to help researchers at UoN understand how their research might be having an impact in policy documents and elsewhere.
