3

What is an “Impact”


4

You (University), or You (Industry , business, Stakeholder)

• Get paid• Have to produce something• To a timescale• To standards of quality• Is used /useable / useful• Enhanced society / culture / Quality of life

How are outputs

used , measured, understood ?

Aim


5

• Updated UK research Map

• Investigation of the perception of Impact

• Helping you understand your impacts

Case studies in the evaluation of impactsCase studies in the evaluation of impacts

What Research Councils “think”

How to work with this ?


7

• Divide up the problem

1)Think about what we do NOW ….

Tea Break

2) Work on some of YOUR specific examples

Talk to the people around you ….


8

• On your left, right, front, rear

• One A3 handout between 2 (cheap !)

• Pick 5 areas UK does WELL

• Pick 5 areas the UK has MISSED (and should fix)

• TOP 5 of all areas – doing / should do/ could do

Results


10

Each box on the RCUK map of Impacts was given a keyword.

The number of “votes” for each keyword was recorded, and that table of data from all the

groups in the whole meeting was displayed as a Word Cloud. That shows the centrality

and size of the keyword visually, depending on the number of votes cast

Key to Keywords used, relating to RCUK

Analysis


16

There was , not surprisingly, a strong vote for academic outputs having a strong impact

As one would expect, each group listed “commercialisation” as an essential impact which

the UK should deliver. Creating “wealth” and public “engagement” were also felt to be

important impacts which the UK should be delivering.

And, perhaps most intriguing, was the vote that “Policy” and “Commercialisation” were not

being achieved very well.

It is, of course, arguable if this academic-dominated focus group is representative or

qualified enough to have a full suite of perspectives on those two impacts.

But the concern is clear …….

After teabreak


17

What to do ? …. Form groups


18

• It’s a bit much to expect engineers to think about storage

(Although I’m sure that the converse is simple)

SO ………

• Move into thematic groups, focused around expertise and problems on / with / in CCS

Themes


19

1) Capture (all flavours)

2) Transport (on shore, offshore, shipping)

3) Environment (land and sea and factories)

4) Storage

5) Systems

6) Social + policy + economics + legal

What to do 2 : after Tea


20

• Pick 2 projects (maybe 3) to work on as EXAMPLES – something that one/more are working on NOW

• Work out YOUR impacts across the WHOLE table, some fields may be blank

* Methods to define and recognise* How did you identify the impact

• Work out HOW you can deliver the Impact

• Does the project have impact in other CCS areas

• Timescale of (various) impacts

Sector Results (maybe)

Learning: Things to DO in future when

displaying Impacts and plotting sectors


23

1) Display time as linear with probability function of impact along it

2) Display impact as triangle or polygon, centered on the mode, or better as a spider

diagram centred on mode.

Probable that most impacts are much longer term than the inventors believe or know at

this time.

Need now to look at FUTURE where do you want to be, and back-cast to present, to invest

in technologies which will help get from now to future
