Reaching for Impact | Webinar series
Overview
To meet global social, economic and environmental challenges, knowledge must be translated into positive impact that benefits society. At the same time, universities are increasingly facing expectations for accountability and are under pressure to demonstrate impact of their research activities and a return on investment from funders and other stakeholders.
Institutional research is vital in shaping policies and decisions at universities and other organizations. However, the impact of this research can be constrained by limited visibility and influence.
This three-part webinar series will bring together experts and thought leaders in the field of institutional research to explore best practices for increasing the impact and visibility of research.
