Full Description:: The days of focusing exclusively on peer-reviewed publications and how to get your H Index up, are over. Following significant reform and changing expectations from society, industry and governments, researchers are increasingly being expected to ‘prove’ that their research has an impact on society and/or our economy. So in the future, we can expect to see funding success and promotion applications linked to the concept of ‘research impact’.

This discussion, presented by the Deputy Director at the UQ Global Change Institute Professor Karen Hussey, will raise why this shift has occurred, why it’s a really good thing, and what you can do about it in your own research and career ambitions.
