Phase 3
The SHAPE of things to come: Current and future Aspect impact
In the five years since it launched, the Aspect programme has achieved a remarkable amount. As it approaches the latest milestone in its evolution, and to support the introduction of a new funding model, this project set out to achieve three key aims.
Phase 2
Train the Trainer
Supporting professional service staff to communicate knowledge exchange and its impact for SHAPE.
Phase 3
Train the Trainer
Following the first scoping phase of the ‘Train the Trainer’ project in 2021/22, the KE/Comms CoP will now implement plans to improve the accessibility and use of the toolkits and other outputs produced in the first phase of Aspect and develop some new resources and sessions for PS staff tasked with communicating / promoting / supporting knowledge exchange (KE), innovation and its impact for SHAPE researchers within their institutions.
