• Workshop on Taxonomies of Research Impact

  • When
    01 Sep 2017
  •  
    09:00 - 16:30
  • Location
    Copenhagen

  Universities and research funding bodies are increasingly expected to demonstrate the impact of research and knowledge on growth, economy, society and environment. Traditionally, most indicators have focused on publication output and economic benefits (e.g. numbers of spin-offs, patents, gross value added, jobs created). These are relatively straightforward to measure. It has turned out much trickier to answer, especially with facts and figures, how research programs and projects are bringing about broader societal benefits, such as policy advice, cultural change, community building or media influence.

  
  

  This workshop aims at presenting a number of impact taxonomies, examining possible pathways and impact categories across stakeholders, sectors and institutions. In particular, the workshop explores work-in-progress and new approaches to impact assessment and classification systems as well as qualitative and quantitative methods for studying connectivity, linkages, interactions, and pathways between science and society. Drawing on recent attempts to evaluate the broader impact of research (e.g. UK Research Excellence Framework and the SIAMPI model), as well as recommendations from the European Commission High-Level Expert Group on Altmetrics, the workshop presents a comprehensive overview of the changing landscape of impact assessment.

  List of confirmed speakers​

  • Gunnar Sivertsen (NIFU Norway): The Norwegian Humanities Evaluation
  • Diana Hicks (Georgia Institute of Technology): The Impact of Philosophy
  • Jack Spaapen (The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences): A Classification System for Humanities Research

  • David Budtz Pedersen (AAU): Responsible Impact in the Social Sciences and Humanities

  The workshop is co-organised by Mapping the Public Value of Humanities (sponsored by the Velux Foundation) and Responsible Impact (sponsored by the Obel Family Foundation). The workshop gathers numerous stakeholders and representatives of organisations interested in impact assessment including staff from Department of Communication and Psychology, Aalborg University.

  We welcome you to the 18th Australasian Research Management Society Conference 2017 to be held in Wellington, New Zealand. Our society of over 2100 members promotes an internationally-connected community of research managers and administrators who operate at the highest standards to support and enhance the global delivery of research excellence. The conference will feature internationally renowned key note speakers, oral and poster presentations, industry exhibitions, collaboration meetings, and professional development workshops of significance to this global profession. We will also make time to celebrate and develop new friendships and encourage satellite meetings aligned with ARMS 2017.

  Our conference is deeply embedded in public research policy and the Honourable Steven Joyce, says: “As the Minister of Science and Innovation, I am writing to express my support for the 2017 Australasian Research Management Society Conference to be held in New Zealand.” The conference’s theme Funding Research: Drawing on the Power of Collaboration will explore opportunities to bring together professionals in research organisations and funding bodies to create greater efficiencies in the wider management of research and its funding.

  The Mayor of Wellington City, Celia Wade-Brown, recently said: “As the capital of New Zealand, Wellington is the ideal place to hold this conference. … As a compact, cosmopolitan city there are many exciting attractions and activities in Wellington. We are well-known for the wildlife sanctuary at Zealandia, the Botanic Gardens and the Waterfront which is a popular spot for running, walking, cycling, roller blading and other activities.”

  The venue for the conference will be the National Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa – located at the stunning Waterfront – within walking distance to accommodation, and all major social events aligned with the conference, allowing calm and recuperation during an action packed and intellectually stimulating conference.

  The New Zealand and Pacific Chapter of the Australasian Research Management Society is thrilled to host the conference in Wellington as the seat of public research funding agencies, research providers, and as a hub of cultural and outdoor activities.

  We are looking forward to welcoming you with ‘Haere mai!’ to Wellington in September 2017!

  Vi er glade for på DARMA’s vegne at kunne tilbyde dette kursus for relativt nye forskningsadministratorer ved private og offentlige virksomheder og institutioner.

  Kursets formål er at bidrage til professionalisering og kompetenceudvikling for den stadigt voksende gruppe af medarbejdere, som betegner sig selv som forskningsadministratorer. Kurset er udviklet i samarbejde med forskningsledere og forskere. Det bygger på efterspørgslen efter kompetencer, viden og overblik.

  Kurset retter sig mod de af vore kolleger og medarbejdere, som er relativt nye på det forskningsadministrative område og som derfor ikke har mere end 5 års erfaring.

  • Få udviklet dine faglige kompetencer
    
  • Få styrket dit netværk
    
  • Oplæg og case-baseret undervisning
