Launch of the Train the Trainer Platform!
The Aspect-funded Train the Trainer project supports Professional Service staff tasked with communicating knowledge exchange, innovation and its impact for SHAPE researchers within their institutions, and has been created in collaboration by The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), University of Glasgow, QUT (Queensland University of Technology), University of York and University of Exeter.
Aspect Members now have access to a plethora of resources via the Members Platform, including case study templates, useful tip videos and guidance materials to help you communicating SHAPE commercialisation.
But don’s stop there, collect your Train the Trainer badge via the platform to display on LinkedIn or share with employers, and showcase to the world the important work taking place across the SHAPE landscape.

Should we spend more time talking about methods?
This blog by the Methods for Change team, illustrated by Jack Brougham, asks if we should spend more time talking about the methods we use as researchers. Drawing on a recent paper, we suggest that researchers need to articulate why methods matter in creating change to global challenges. We share three creative techniques that we have experimented with across the Methods for Change project that can encourage playful, reflective conversation about methods and their role in galvanising change.
