Course Description

Research at universities has always contributed to the improvement of human understanding. Unfortunately, many academics believe research is not valued in society because it isn't communicated to the outside world.

This course will teach you how to create research impact with many stakeholders such as government and industry. Additionally, you will learn how to communicate the economic and social benefits of impact-driven research. You'll ultimately be better equipped to communicate, understand, and create research impact.
