The idea is to look at how the requirements of Impact have influenced people’s research. It may have changed the direction or shape of research in unexpected but positive ways. It may have distorted it. Working with partners may have influenced the way in which people think about research. For the moment we would like to address these questions in general terms. The session will not be about the REF or “impact narratives”. That may be for another occasion.

A sandwich lunch will be provided.
