 ims\nOver the past few years the idea that academic research should prove 
 that it has had ‘impact’ on the broader\, non-academic community – 
 or on specific segments of that community - has gained considerable momen
 tum. Applications for RCUK grants now have to outline the ways in which s
 uch impact will be achieved. Impact is assessed as part of the Research 
 Excellence Framework\, the outcome of which will have a major effect on bo
 th funding and reputation for universities.\n\nThis workshop aims to intr
 oduce students to the main concepts of impact\, its historical origins\, 
 how it is measured\, and to the critiques of this measurement\, noting fo
 r example how these differ across funding bodies. It will include a range
  of presentations on the dilemmas and achievements in an expanded definit
 ion of ‘impact’ from specific research projects\, and will provide a 
 structure within which to apply these insights to participants’ own pro
 jects and their research plans or ambitions.\nLearning Outcomes\nStudents 
 will:\n\n	Develop a critical appreciation of the nature of debates about i
 mpact in the UK and their broader context\;\n	Be able to explain the sign
 ificance of concepts of impact for their own research and for the wider fi
 eld(s) of which it is a part\;\n	Understand how (and to what extent) it is
  possible to engage with non-academic audiences before\, during and after 
 specific social science research projects\;\n	Begin a process of developin
 g an impact profile in respect of their own work.\n\nCost\n\n	Wales DTC po
