Turning Research into Real-World Impact: Join the ForPeat Training Session

A hands-on session to maximise research impact

How can research go beyond publications and deliver tangible benefits for society, policy, and the environment? This is the central question addressed in the upcoming training session organised within the ForPeat project.

Entitled “Fast-track your research impact”, this interactive online session will provide participants with practical tools and evidence-based strategies to increase the reach, relevance, and effectiveness of their research. The training is designed to be highly practical and time-efficient, enabling participants to apply what they learn directly to their own projects.

 Key benefits:

• Learn about evidence-based principles for delivering research impact.
• Discover easy and quick-to-use templates you can use immediately to: i) Prioritise who to engage with first; and ii) Create a powerful impact plan that will ensure your research makes a difference without wasting your time, underpinned by a realistic theory of change.
