About the course

Objectives
Through an intense, hands-on week long course, ISRIA’s international and regional Schools aim to:

• empower participants to assess, measure and optimise research impact
• share the breadth of existing frameworks, tools, approaches and knowledge about research impact assessments
• increase collaborative capacity, networks and team building among a generation of research & development decision-makers.

Participants should come away with confidence about how to plan, implement, and manage a research impact assessment, as well as how to communicate the results to intended audiences and measure and optimize the returns of research investments.
