We will cover ideas on how to include impact in grant proposals, how to develop research plans that have impact, and discuss examples from the Uni and Met Office about successful impact activities. We will be joined by Felicity Notley, an Impact, Evidence & Evaluation Officer at the University of Exeter, who specialises in academic Impact.
