Learning Path Valorisation and Impact

Ever think about the impact that your work can have outside of academia? Would you like to explore how you can increase the impact you’re already making? IXA will offer a learning path on getting involved in valorisation and creating impact. The objective? To inspire you and make you aware of the power that comes with creating value and impact through your research.

About the Learning Path Valorisation and Impact

The path consists of 3 modules; an introductory session, an indepth session and two sessions in which you work on your own idea. Participating researchers can work on a number of skills corresponding to their own needs. The focus will be on translating your own research into the idea that you will further develop into a service, product or way of public outreach. Through this learning path you can take your idea a step further in a short period of time. How you spend that time is entirely up to you. Important: you can follow all modules as a continuous learning path or as self-standing.

Course design
  • Module 1: Impact through research: an opportunity?

You will learn what valorisation and creating impact mean, why it is important and how it can help you as a researcher.

Discover what kind of support is available and how you can take the first steps towards creating impact through your research or idea.

    Duration: one session of 3 hours
    Location: The knowledge institutions will alternate hosting the sessions.

  • Module 3: Impact through research: focusing on your own practice

    In this third module you will work on your own idea. During two interactive half-day sessions you will further develop and concretise your idea.
