A Workshop for Research Managers and Administrators: Understanding Research Impact

This activity is organized under the EU-funded project EU-CONEXUS ENABLES (Project number: 101136822), titled ‘Promoting Excellence Through Innovative Eco-systems.

Moving beyond project development, this interactive workshop introduces key concepts related to research impact and focuses on practical approaches to planning, monitoring, and communicating impact effectively.

Participants will explore how to design impact pathways, identify relevant indicators, and implement strategies for tracking and evidencing the outcomes of research and innovation activities. The session will also address how to translate complex results into clear, compelling narratives tailored to different stakeholders, including policymakers, funders, and society at large.

The workshop is designed to support Research Management and Administration (RMA) professionals in their daily work by providing hands-on tools, real-life examples, and peer exchange opportunities. By the end of the session, participants will gain a better understanding of how to strengthen impact-oriented practices within their institutions and projects.
