Driving impact in Social Sciences

The university wanted to support academics and researchers from across the social sciences who wished to deploy their research and achieve societal impact.

We delivered an awareness building session where we used case studies to illustrate the different ways that academics (just like them!) had achieved significant impacts. We then worked with each researcher to investigate their insight and capability and all the ways in which it might be deployed. This enabled participants  who were often working across a vast problem area to see more clearly the more tightly defined opportunity that they could ‘own’ or influence, and how to activate it and deliver significant impact.
