Ever think about the impact that your work can have outside of academia? Would you like to explore how you can increase the impact you are already making? As of January 2024, IXA will offer a new learning path on getting involved in valorisation and creating impact. The objective? To inspire you and make you aware of the power that comes with creating value and impact through your research.

About the Learning Path Valorisation and Impact

The path consists of 3 modules; an introductory session, an indepth session and two sessions in which you work on your own idea. Participating researchers can work on a number of skills corresponding to their own needs. The focus will be on translating your own research into the idea that you will further develop into a service, product or way of public outreach. Through this learning path you can take your idea a step further in a short period of time. Important: you can follow all modules as a continuous learning path or as self-standing. The sessions are both live and online.

Start and timeline

IXA will start a pilot of the new learning path in January. The duration of the path is January – April 2024.

For the first session you can choose between:

Tuesday, January 30 at 9:30-10:30 at VU campus De Boelelaan, NU building
Tuesday, February 13 at 9:30-10:30 at Amsterdam UMC location Meijbergdreef

For whom?

Researchers from Amsterdam knowledge institutions are welcome to join the learning path. The path is particularly suitable for late phase PhD students and postdocs who want to become proficient in valorising their research.

Registration

Would you like to participate? Please register via your manager or department or send an email to Caroline Kleine Staarman (info@ixa.nl).

No cost

Location

The first session will take place at Amsterdam UMC (one at the AMC location and one at the VUmc location). The subsequent sessions take place alternately at the Amsterdam knowledge institutions.

Form and online content

The modules are offered in a hybrid form, alternating short interactive live sessions on various locations with online modules. You can follow all modules as a continuous learning path or as self-standing. The sessions are interactive and will leave plenty of room for questions and collaboration with/ or learning from fellow researchers.
