Impact: the practice
Research assessment to include significant additional recognition
‘where high quality research has contributed to the economy, society, public policy, culture, the environment, international development or quality of life’
HEFCE ‘REF2014 Impact pilot exercise’ (2010)

Impact: the practice
Embedding a ‘Culture of Impact’
• cultivate a shared understanding of the impacts of arts and humanities research and the importance of being able to demonstrate such impacts.
• communicate the impacts of arts and humanities research to stakeholders in an effective and accessible manner.
• encourage the academic community to realise the cultural, social and economic impact potential of their activities.

Impact: the practice
Evaluating the non-academic impact of social science research
– research leads to the production of different types of knowledge,
– research-based knowledge might have an impact by, for example, • including better informed public policy and decision-making,• improved professional practice and organisational decision-making, • different ways of thinking about the nature of social and economic
problems, • innovative solutions and improved public understanding and more
informed public discourse

Farewell note
At the same time as renewing itself in this way, the department of {name} - just like all of our other academic units - is expected to be research intensive and to be producing work of an international and world-leading quality.
No downsizing or excision of activity is welcomed by a University. However, at present, {name of department} is financially unsustainable at current levels of staffing and student recruitment.
Nevertheless the University has used this situation to prompt imaginative thinking and what we are proposing offers the possibility of a secure and sustainable future.
