The Social Impact Lab at our University aims at developing world-class leadership for social impact. This workshop is designed for PGR students and early career social science researchers who wish to extend the impact of their research and link into a supportive community of research practitioners. Impact can take many forms including development or improvement of an intervention, influencing policy reform, or launching a social enterprise that provides meaningful tools or services.
The workshop aims to expose the mechanics – the “how” – of impactful research approaches. Facilitators will provide ample time for small group discussion and self-work to support you to further scope-out a research impact plan and develop connections with other researchers within our University. Benefits to your research include:
- Tailored feedback about your research impact
- Direct mentorship from impactful social science researchers
- Peer support and network building
