Research Impact

Environmental research must meet an increasing number of objectives to satisfy funder objectives - as well as being excellent and 'state of the art' in its own right, it must also demonstrate IMPACT. This is an elusive goal, open to interpretation depending on the subject and funder. However, there are a few consistent themes:

1. exchange of knowledge and ideas with a wide range of audiences
2. new products and processes
3. supporting the economy, businesses and job creation
4. developing skills
5. influencing public policy and supporting services

Increasingly, this need for impact is defining core research concepts, methodologies and wider participation by external partners in the research process. Read more in our ENDS Report feature.
