Theme Valorisation and impact
Target audience Researchers at one of Amsterdam’s knowledge institutions (UvA, VU, Amsterdam UMC and HvA) that want to learn how to create impact with their idea or research

General

Would you like to learn how to create societal impact with your research? Then sign up for IXA’s Learning Path on Valorisation and Impact! Through three interactive workshops and online materials, you’ll develop your own plan: from your initial ideas to concrete impact.

You’ll learn for instance, how to conduct a stakeholder analysis, explore funding opportunities, and how to conceptualize the application of your research. This learning path is perfect for late-stage PhD candidates and postdocs. The Learning Path has multiple start dates in the Fall! 


The learning path consists of 3 workshops in 2 modules interspersed with online information.

The first workshop (module 1) focuses on impact, what it means to you, how to create it, the challenges you face and how to take the first steps to create impact. The second and third workshops (module 2) guide you in fleshing out your ideas or research findings into a plan. You will make a stakeholder analysis and learn about the support available within the knowledge institute.

Throughout the course, the focus is on translating your research into an idea that can evolve into a service, product or way of public outreach.
