Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - 14 December

There is currently a new initiative to highlight the profile and strength of Social Science at Royal Holloway, involving social scientists from all three Faculties.

The launch event will be on Wednesday 20 September 2017 during Welcome week – we hope this will mean that the maximum number of people can attend at least for part of the day.
 
Importantly, if you are a Social Scientist, please follow the link and complete the form so that we can gain a better understanding of the Social Science activity in the College. The form includes an opportunity to register for the event on the 20th September. The Launch event is primarily internally focused, but features a keynote from the Head of Policy of the Academy of Social Science. 

Please download the programme of events for the day. 
 

Throughout academia there is  a growing emphasis on the impact of our research in society at large - what difference can it make and how? Who are the non-academic beneficiaries of our research and what can we do to realise its benefits?

Research impact now features in most funding calls, in university promotion structures and in public attitudes to research.

Course components: 

• What research impact is - and what it isn’t
• Different types of external stakeholders, and different kinds of research impact
• Top tips and tools for planning your impact activities
• Research impact in funding applications and the REF
• Support available at Royal Holloway

Target audience

The course is suitable for academics at any stage of their career who are new to the impact agenda and/or would like a refresher.  

Led by: Kristina Glushkova and Olivia Swift, Impact Managers, Research & Enterprise, with a talk by Jessie Ricketts, Director of Impact at the Department of Psychology
