Contextualising Knowledge Exchange
Published: 30 May 2023
A practical guide for arts & humanities researchers - explore what ideas, research, expertise or skills to exchange, with whom and how, and ways to maximise the impact of your knowledge exchange.
Monday 17th of June
14:00 - 15.30pm
This event has been organised by Dr Sabina Strachan, founder of how2glu.
About this seminar/panel discussion
We will carefully consider what types of knowledge and skills you have to offer, to whom, and what types of ideas, research, expertise or skills you are looking for in exchange and how you would use these to improve the depth and quality of your research as well as your understanding of how your research can generate research impact.
We’ll look at different forms of research impact using arts and humanities examples, and consider ways to increase impact potential. Using graphic tools you will identify opportunities for knowledge exchange relating to your own research and start to map out ideas for shared outcomes, potential partners and beneficiaries. And we’ll look at a range of approaches and solutions to common issues.

Participant pre-requisites:
N/A
Participant access requirements:
Being able to join with audio means that you'll be able to participate fully in the breakout sessions.
I'll make worksheets and resources available to you in a shared Google Drive folder which we'll be using, or referring to, in the workshop. As you don't need to do anything with them beforehand however, I'll share the link with you in the Zoom chat. Every step of the worksheets can be completed with pen/paper with them available to you as a guide or you can use the 'sticky notes' function to add virtual notes. So having access to a printer isn't necessary.
- You will have access to the Google Drive folder for 4 weeks after the workshop as well as trainer aftercare for queries.
Zoom links will be circulated to registrants prior to the event
