    Workshop 1: impact planning (UMCG)

    Planning of Societal Impact In this 1,5 hour course, participants will learn how to make a plan to increase the societal impact of their research projects. Participants will make a 'pathway to impact', much in the same method that is used in both EU Horizon and NWO funding. In this method, researchers will bridge the gap between academic output and societal impact by bringing about change with identified stakeholders. In this interactive workshop you will develop a better understanding of which steps need to be taken for your academic output to lead to impact. Which stakeholders are relevant for your research line? Which outcomes do you want to see coming about? And what indicators are you going to use to see whether you are on the right track? For whom is this workshop This workshop is for all researchers Trainer Tim van Veen, Impact Officer of the UMCG. Questions? Please contact t.p.van.veen@umcg.nl
