Public Knowledge Symposium: Generating and Assessing Research with Impact

Understanding research impact is now a priority for scholars in Australian universities, since the Australian Research Council is now committed to assessing the effects of university research in the pubic arena. What will the assessment of research impact look like? And how might researchers approach research projects with integrity, to ensure that their research is both intellectually rigorous and legible to an audience beyond their academic disciplines?

 

This symposium brings to the ANU three distinguished researchers from the UK with experience in assessing and writing impact case studies to discuss how research with impact has been generated and measured in England, and how Australian researchers can best position themselves to communicate their research to the public.

 

Speakers are Prof. Ann Heilmann, Prof. Maria Delgado, and Prof. Malcolm Gillies AM.
