AESIS Network course on Assessing the Societal Impact of Research

On 6-8 November 2019, AESIS Network organises a course on ‘Methods & Strategies for Assessing the Societal Impact of Institutional Research’ at King’s College London, United Kingdom. This course will focus primarily on the question how research institutes may develop their own ‘Impact portfolio’ and how they can create their own assessment systems to serve their strategy. The course will create insight in the currently available information systems and methods to assess impact and how to implement this in your Research Strategy.

Central questions of the course:

• How can you create parameters of impact assessment that are appropriate for local, national and international purposes?
• To what extent do you need to take a shared or differentiated approach of assessing impact between different disciplines?
• How can parameters of impact assessment and research strategies reinforce each other and how can you avoid the risk of perverse incentives?
• What are the differences between assessing output, outcome and impact?
• How can you use existing Research Information Systems for your impact strategy and what are the possibilities to build your own system?

Speakers include:

Jonathan Grant – King’s College London

Simon Kerridge – EARMA

Steven Hill – Research England

AESIS Network is pleased to offer ARMA members a 15% reduced fee of € 1350,00, including access to all sessions of the course, lunches and breaks, a dinner, a welcome reception and course documentation.
