During her seminar, professor Jenny Lewis will share some of her knowledge on how to approach impact strategically – both on an institutional and on an individual researcher’s level. What mechanisms for academic reward and recognition can be introduced via the institutional planning cycle which both values the diversity of pathways to impact and enables research groups to engage effectively? How can researchers successfully engage with stakeholders and potentially co-create policy? What have been the tipping points in her own career that have made her invest so fully in fostering an impact literate research culture?
