What is this course about?

This session is all about helping you craft a clear, compelling narrative to highlight the impact of your research. Whether you're preparing for REF or just looking to better communicate the value of your work, we’ll walk through how to effectively tell your story. You'll learn how to connect your research outcomes to real-world change and how to demonstrate that impact with strong evidence.

During the workshop, you’ll put this into practice by crafting your own impactful narrative based on your research.

This session will consist of a presentation followed by a workshop. This session will be delivered twice - once in person and once online.
