Building a Research Impact Plan on Elements (Interactive in-person workshop)
Wednesday 12 June, 12-3pm (with lunch)
Seminar room, Medical Research Building
Facilitators: Chris Pepper, Deeptima Massey, Maggie Symes and Rebecca Downing.
Impact Plans have been an important feature of research practice, particularly around funding, assessment, and personal motivation. An Impact Plan can enable us to look ahead at the potentialities of how our research can translate into societal benefit or to inject change in the economy, health sector, public policy, quality of life, beyond academia. Elements has now added the ability to construct impact plans and link them to your research output. This workshop invites researchers at all career stages to come along and draw up a plan of their impact “journey” i.e. how impact is/will be driven by your research and is going to make a difference. Bring a laptop and we will show you how to interactively enter your new impact plan into elements and start tracking your impact. A few things to consider would be: a) drawing logical relationships with “stakeholders”/end users to deliver your desired impact; b) identify and integrate activities to facilitate impact; c) determine evidence emerging from the activities and d) identify barriers to achieving desired goals and possible solutions. At the end of the session, there will be an opportunity to share your impact plans with the participants should you wish to do so. To register, please email d.massey@bsms.ac.uk.

Tips and tricks for writing high impact research papers
Thursday 4 July, 12-2pm (with lunch)
Seminar room, Medical Research Building
In this workshop Professors Sumita Verma, Itamar Ronen, Richard de Visser and Dr Simon Mitchell will be sharing their perspectives on how the use of specific methodologies (clinical trials, empirical evidence, computational biology and qualitative approaches) has informed their writing and figure preparation practices. They will also be reflecting on good practices including the importance of feedback/peer-review along with the use of appropriate language, structure, and impactful figures to share research finding. The aim of this session is to encourage all researchers to write high-quality papers for publication and advance knowledge in our particular field(s). To register, please email d.massey@bsms.ac.uk.
