Research Impact: Idea to Impact

In this practical workshop for Social Sciences researchers, run by University of Bristol’s Dr Dave Jarman, Associate Professor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, we will help participants explore the potential stakeholders for their research and think about how impact and value can be created and sustained for the benefit of all involved.

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.
