How to make more meaningful impact from research? On September 4th, the UMCG, together with the Dutch Impact Alliance, will organise a symposium on societal impact of research. The symposium is for researchers, impact professionals and other research impact enthusiasts. Together, we will highlight successful impact stories, explore regional and national funding opportunities (NWO), share best impact practices, and offer guidance on open data, research assessment and impact strategies.
