Impact beyond academia

Impact beyond academia

Impact beyond academia refers to the ways research creates benefits or changes outside the academic community. This might include influencing policy or practice, informing industry, improving health or wellbeing, contributing to communities, or influencing public debate. Evidence can include policy citations, changes to practice, media coverage, partnerships, testimonials, or engagement with industry and community organisations.

It is recommended that you also see the Curtin Research EI Toolkit produced the Research Office at Curtin EI Team.
