Ever think about the impact that your reserach can have outside of academia? Would you like to explore how you can increase the impact you’re already making? VU IXA-GO offers a learning path on valorisation and creating impact. The objective? To inspire you and make you aware of the power that comes with creating value and impact through your research, and how you can actually achieve that impact.

What can you expect from this Learning Path?
The Learning Path is composed of 2 modules of a total of 3 workshops interspersed with online information.

The first Module focuses on impact, what it means for you, how to create it, the challenges you’ll encounter and how to take the first steps to create impact. Module 2, consisting of two workshops, guides you in concretising your ideas or research results into a plan. You will make a stakeholder analysis and learn about the support available within the knowledge institute.

Throughout the course the focus will be on translating your research into an idea that can evolve into a service, product or way of public outreach. IXA organises the Learning Path Valorisation and Impact twice a year.
