Creating Impact from Research in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
How can collaboration with enterprises and multidisciplinary teams help researchers create impact from your research? How can researchers effectively navigate the path to commercialising academic ideas? These are some of the questions our panellists will address in our next webinar. The panel will include researchers from four Welsh Universities at different career stages.
The session is aimed at researchers who wish to listen to successful stories of creating research impact. Attendees will learn how to make their work visible to partners outside academia, how to approach them and reflect on how research innovation can drive their career as an ECR in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
