We share our stories on impact to your benefit and we can help you to gather your impact evidence
The research performed at the UMCG creates impact on society in a large variety of ways: from improving welfare, developing new technology, starting new companies to influencing policy at local, national and EU level.
To help UMCG researchers, clinicians and support staff improve their views on impact and broaden their collaborations, the UMCG impact team offers training, impact planning sessions, examples in form of case studies and tools such as guided templates.

What about terms as "societal impact" or "relevance"? We provide information, tools and online references to understand research impact and help in building effective communication strategies:
- Online science communication tool How can I best communicate my research?"to create an impactful science communication strategy, identify audiences and suitable communication channels;
- an Research Impact Services Learning Portal to test your impact readiness level and learn how to track societal impact with programs as Altmetrics;
- an informative flyer about research impact, the impact cycle and the impact terms used by national funders;
- a booklet with experiences and bottlenecks from H2020 project applications A template to guide the writing of an impact narrative.
- There are several resources online around research impact, for example the free online training "Research Impact: Making a Difference" (Glasgow Univeristy)
