(90 minutes) Impact reporting is of increasing importance internationally as there is more pressure on government funds to demonstrate accountability and value for money to government and taxpayers. As such, research managers and VPs need to have a good understanding of what impact is in this context as this is a new style of reporting for research. This webinar will explore what impact reporting is and why it is gaining momentum. We will share experiences and practical examples of how organizations have been implementing impact strategies and mobilizing researchers to engage more with the impact agenda.

Lucy Day, Impact Officer, Research and Innovation Services, Liverpool John Moores University

• It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
• Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
