What to expect: content and program

The path consists of 3 modules; an introductory session, an indepth session and two sessions in which you work on your own idea. Participating researchers can work on a number of skills corresponding to their own needs. The focus will be on translating your own research into the idea that you will further develop into a service, product or way of public outreach. Through this learning path you can take your idea a step further in a short period of time. How you spend that time is entirely up to you.
Find the course details below.

Hybrid form

The modules are offered in a hybrid form, alternating short interactive live sessions on various locations with online information. You can follow all modules as a continuous learning path or as self-standing. The sessions are interactive and will leave plenty of room for questions and collaboration with/ or learning from fellow researchers.

Dates and timeline

IXA will start a pilot of this new learning path in January 2024. The duration of the learning path is February – June 2024. Find the details below under Course details.

Location

The first sessions for UvA researchers will take place at a UvA campus. The second and third module will be hosted by other knowledge institutions so that participating researchers can experience other institutions.

No costs

There are no costs associated with the learning path. Simply register beforehand please. 

Course details
_{Module 1: Impact through research: an opportunity?}

Duration: 1 hour
Date: new dates in Fall 2024 will be published in June. 

Module 2: Impact through research: in-depth look at valorisation
In this half-day in-depth session we will delve deeper into the subject matter. You will not only learn about different forms of valorisation, but you will also learn how to shape this process. Discover what kind of support is available and how you can take the first steps towards creating impact through your research or idea.
Duration: 3 hours
Date: new dates in Fall 2024 will be published in June. 

Module 3: Impact through research: focusing on your own practice
In this third module you will work on your own idea. During two interactive half-day sessions you will further develop and concretise your idea. At the end of these sessions you will know how to achieve impact. You will have an overview of the steps to be take in a clear plan, and you will know how to make a network analysis that can help you further.
