About the case studies
An impact case is a description of a chain of events that have led to or have the potential to create impact.
An impact case should clearly describe:
- research process
- results
- outcomes
- impact
- evidence
Impact cases are used:
- in research funding and evaluations
- for communication, externally and internally
- for inspiration
- to provide insights to new opportunities and challenges within a research project
Collaboration and continuous learning are important components of such impact case pathways.
