In this short, introductory session, we will explore how your research can be developed for both impact and career progression. With examples of best practice, practical advice and general guidance, we hope to offer a useful starting point for any researcher.

Session 2: Discovering Your Audience
In this practical workshop, we will explore potential audiences for your research and think about how impact and value can be created and sustained for the benefit of all involved.
