Impact Strategy Survey

The EARMA Policy and Representation Committee acts as a source of active engagement for EARMA members in relation to research policy issues. Following several discussions, presentations at EARMA’s annual conferences and short articles in EARMA’s newsletter, the Committee is undertaking a survey to explore institutional impact strategies.

We aim to identify and share best practice in how organisations are responding strategically to the research impact agenda, and the ways in which this relates to national and European policy contexts. The results of the survey will be presented in a report available to all respondents, and will form the basis of a presentation at the EARMA Annual Conference in April 2020.
