Social issues play an increasingly central role when looking at research impact. The quality and social relevance of scientific research can be measured in various ways. Using various tools, you can gain insight into how your research scores on different parameters.
The value of understanding impact
Understanding the impact of research can be beneficial for future (research) projects. A good substantiation of impact can support SEP evaluations, grant applications, annual reports and personal (HR) evaluations. It also leads to greater awareness of your research group or institute, which facilitates finding research partners. The insights gathered can also illustrate how research findings are translated by scientific and societal partners and policymakers, and find their place in the public debate.
