Although basic research is a hugely worthwhile pursuit in itself, it can be incredibly satisfying to see that your work is also creating benefit for other people outside the academic sphere. However, it can be difficult to know where to start, and what to do. This training course, which consists of two videos (Creating Impact From Research and Working With Industry And Translational Research) and a live online interactive session, will equip you with practical templates, strategies and tactics for exploring ways in which you can create impact from your research, and expand your professional transferable skill set.
The course is opened to all researchers (post doc and up) at the University of Cambridge whose research will impact health and life science. The course will cover all types of impact and is not limited to commercial impact.
It includes recorded videos to be watched before you then produce an impact hypothesis statement. You will receive feedback from your statement by Nessa Carey and then there will be a live session delivered by Nessa which will be held jointly with researchers at the University of Leeds. This will give you the opportunity to exchange ideas and network with other researchers outside of Cambridge.
Place are limited to 10 per institution per date. There will be two potential dates to choose from for the live session:
Friday the 22nd of October 10am-12pm ; November date TBC
