Description

Multiple definitions of research impact stress that it must be "demonstrable"? But how can we satisfactorily demonstrate the contributions that a piece of research has made to realising a benefit to society? This workshop will explore what might constitute appropriate evidence for different types of impact, the practicalities of collecting it, and how impact evidence is handled at the University of Edinburgh.
