Time: 12:00-13:00
Venue: Baddiley-Clark Seminar Room
Speakers: Dr Pauline Addis, Faculty Impact Officer
Helen Atkinson, Engagement Support Co-ordinator

So what’s research impact all about? Do you want to know more about what it is and why it’s important? In this session the impact officer and engagement team will talk you through the process, including discussing a REF submitted case study and one with potential impact. There will be an opportunity to discuss impact with reference to your own research in small groups and with the impact officer.

This session will look at different types of impact and how to start planning engagement now to enhance your research.

{react} Magazine is a Newcastle University innovation fund project which has been a tremendous success. The magazine’s manifesto is: to talk about science in a user-friendly and engaging way, focussing on the truly fascinating part it plays in our every day lives; to bring current research at Newcastle University to a wide range of people within and outside of the university; to promote learning, debate and discussion on contemporary scientific issues; to provide a dynamic platform for the promotion of science; to allow researchers and academics to present their work to new audiences and to help them to develop as science writers and to produce beautiful, interesting and thought provoking articles which are just as much a joy to read as they are for us to write (see http://reactmagazinenu.blogspot.co.uk/).

The research students who have set up this project are now about to leave the University and we need new blood to keep the magazine going. If you are interested in hearing more please sign up for this informal session over lunch. Research Students, Research Staff and academic staff are all welcome to be involved.
