Episode Synopsis

In our fortnightly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter?In this episode Ged Hall discusses the enlightening time he had at the Network for Advancing & Evaluating the Societal Impact of Science ‘Societal Impact of Scientific Research’ Conference in Dublin in June 2024. The conference dived deep into the impacts and future of research culture! 🌍🔥 Key Takeaways:- **Global Unity in Research Impact**: Despite differing contexts, the challenges and goals in advancing research impact are strikingly similar worldwide. We're all moving in the same direction and hitting the same bumps, from the UK to New Zealand and beyond.- **Relationships are Key**: Impact happens through collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships. As highlighted, incorporating diverse perspectives, including those of next users, could significantly enrich the conversation and outcomes of research impact.- **Evolving Dialogue**: The conversation around research impact has matured from "what is it?" to "how do we do it better?" The focus now is on doing it more equitably and efficiently, with a reduced negative toll on researchers and their communities.Attending the conference reaffirmed how far we’ve come and motivated Ged to push for even greater progress in research impact. Excited for what's next! 🚀In the episode, Ged or those he spoke to mentioned the following:Network for Advancing & Evaluating the Societal Impact of ScienceThe Future of Research Impact Culture (Research Culture Uncovered episode)The Emerald Handbook of Research Management and Administration around the WorldResearch Impact Summit hosted by Dr Tamika Heiden of the Research Impact Academy (Australia).
