Come and discuss the impact of research from various angles: what forms it can take, why the topic is timely, how to include impact thinking in your projects and how to create suitable conditions for it to flourish. The impact of research has become an increasingly relevant topic as regards research funding, research policies and the role of universities in society.
Research Funding Forums are thematic events aimed at the University of Helsinki and Aalto University researchers, from PhD students to research directors, professors, research coordinators and administrators as well as to anyone interested in the topic. Take advantage of the Research Funding Forum and be better positioned to succeed in the future research funding calls and learn how to make impact happen in your research.
