Colleagues will have recently received a personalised training plan from our Researcher Development team for the 2019/20 academic year based on the 3-year research plan exercise that took place earlier this year. For many people this will include a strand around development of impact.
As you know, each School has its own Impact Coordinator(s), who will be able to act as your impact mentor. The Impact Coordinators are as follows:
- ARTS & MEDIA – Dr Pal Vik (p.m.vik@salford.ac.uk)
- HEALTH & SOCIETY – Prof Neal Hazel (n.hazel@salford.ac.uk)
- SALFORD BUSINESS SCHOOL – Prof Phil Scarf (p.a.scarf@salford.ac.uk)
- SCIENCE, ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENT – (former CSE) Prof Apostolos Antonacopoulos (a.antonacopoulos@salford.ac.uk); (former ELS) Prof Mike Wood (m.d.wood@salford.ac.uk) and Prof Andy Miah (a.miah@salford.ac.uk); (former SoBE) Prof Peter Walker (p.a.walker@salford.ac.uk)
Please do contact them if you would like to explore your impact further.
In addition to this, there are a range of other resources to assist you in development of your impact as follows:
