Hi there,

I’d be interested to know whether any universities are employing staff specifically to help arts and humanities researchers to carry out project evaluations, and to collate evidence of research impact and public engagement activities. The word ‘evaluation’ is starting to creep into a few impact-related job titles advertised recently – is this a trend?

I’d also be interested to know to what extent universities and research teams are investing in independent evaluations of the impact of arts and humanities research projects, particularly projects which have considerable public engagement and/or professional practice impact potential.

Thanks for any feedback!
