Impact Wednesdays

Fireside chat and meet-up series

On the first Wednesday of the month in term time, join our new series for researchers, of all career types and stages, and professional services staff, to hear from colleagues and their external partners who have experience of and expertise in working together to create change, impact, and benefit from research.

ImpactWednesday

Hosted by Professor Elizabeth Stokoe, Academic Director of Impact, and Keri Rowsell, Head of Operations at the 100x Impact Accelerator, the series will be centred around a fireside chat conversation between researchers and their partners, with networking and time for discussion, all over a free lunch. The series aims to be a source of inspiration, information, and support. Colleagues will also be able to access fireside chat recordings via the new Engagement and Impact Hub. Register free (for lunch numbers!) and we look forward to seeing you there.
