During the course, you will learn the essentials of creating impact with your research.

The course is composed of five 3-hour sessions, each dedicated to a topic related to impact and communication. The pedagogy is experiential, hands-on learning which exposes participants (as far as possible) to opportunities to create and communcate impact with research. Each session mixes lectures, discussions, workshops, “fireside” panels, teamwork and guided exercises to make sure the participants apply the lessons to their own research.

Study Methods:
The students will be reading and writing on topics related to research impact, commercialization, and communication. As well, they will be preparing to present to a small group of peers every time we meet. Feedback from and to peers is a key learning method. At the end of the course, there is an event where researchers will present to a larger group of internal and external stakeholders.
