The Impact and Knowledge Exchange Fellowship, funded by the University of Bath's EPSRC IAA and ESRC IAA fund, is now open for applications.

The Fellowship brings together external and internal experts to deliver you training and development opportunities in research impact, approaches to planning for impact (Theory of Change), delivering impact (including knowledge exchange) and evidencing impact (monitoring and evaluation).

Dr Emma Gibbard, Head of Research Excellence and Impact, in Research and innovation Services (RIS), says:

We are delighted that the Fellowship is continuing for a fourth year. We know from the feedback that our Fellows have found it hugely rewarding. So if you would like enhanced support to help you think about and explore your own research and its potential impact in new and innovative ways; and an improved understanding of tools and techniques that can help you to plan for, deliver and evidence impact; then I strongly encourage you to apply to this fellowship.

Professor Julie Barnett, Associate Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research, says:

These fellowships are a fantastic opportunity to develop and deepen a range of skills to amplify research impact and to be part of a community of practice with colleagues from different disciplines. The fellowship scheme builds confidence, enhances skills and extends research networks - all key building blocks for developing the impact of our research.
