The aim is to identify the processes that influence impact and explore mechanisms that maximise it. This seminar will ask how new ways of measuring impact influence the science system: * What are the key challenges for impact measurement? * What new kinds of tools and data are available and how might they be used? * How might new tools change research programme management and science policy-making goals and practices? * How might researchers maximise their visibility within these new kinds of datasets (e.g. publishing, social networking, blogging) To view the programme and book a place please go to www.methods.manchester.ac.uk/impact/seminar-4/<http://www.methods.manchester.ac.uk/impact/seminar-4/> You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
