Impact

Impact is a dominant theme within the current UK research environment. It is a significant driver for informing the future direction, quality and success of organisations’ research portfolios. This Award celebrates a research manager or research management team that has invented, innovated or transformed the processes for supporting the translation of research into societal impact. All nominees have demonstrated an exceptional positive contribution to the identification, promotion and/or translation of research into impact and thus enhanced their organisation’s research enterprise.
