Training session 5: Dissemination and impact
This session focuses on how to share your research and make a difference with it.
We’ll start with a recap and talk about who your research is for, and how to share your findings in ways that people can understand and use.
We’ll look at different formats — like reports, creative projects, posters, or events — and think about what works best for different audiences.
After lunch, we’ll explore ways to present your work, from workshops and talks to podcasts and social media.
We’ll also talk about how to share your research in a respectful and ethical way. To finish, we’ll think about what kind of change you want your research to create, and how you’ll know if it’s made a difference.
