General
Have you ever thought about the impact your research or idea could have outside academia? Would you like to explore how you can increase the impact you are already making? IXA offers a new learning path on valorisation and impact. The aim? To inspire you and make you aware of the power of creating value and impact through your research, and how you can actually achieve that impact.
WHO IS IT FOR?
- Are you a researcher at one of the Amsterdam knowledge institutes (UvA, VU, Amsterdam UMC and HvA) and interested in learning how to create impact with your idea or research? Then join this program.
- The learning path is particularly suitable for late-phase PhD students and Postdocs who want to become proficient in valorising their research.
THE CONTENT OF THE LEARNING PATH VALORISATION AND IMPACT
The learning path consists of 3 workshops in 2 modules interspersed with online information.
The first workshop (module 1) focuses on impact, what it means to you, how to create it, the challenges you face and how to take the first steps to create impact. The second and third workshops (module 2) guide you in fleshing out your ideas or research findings into a plan. You will make a stakeholder analysis and learn about the support available within the knowledge institute.
Throughout the course, the focus is on translating your research into an idea that can evolve into a service, product or way of public outreach.
LOCATION
The workshops are held at the VU Campus.
