Building robust pathways to impact that ensure our research makes a meaningful difference in the world is core to UTS. But what exactly is research impact? How can you plan for it, and how can you demonstrate it? To address these questions, Research Impact Facilitator Catherine McElhone has convened a series titled ‘Fundamentals of Research Impact’ which complements the RES Hub online module of the same name.
