University of Technology Sydney:
Distilling Research Impact using Symplectic Elements
Recognising the growing need to articulate and evaluate the impact of its research, UTS launched the Distilling Research Impact initiative in 2018, which seeks to embed research impact assessment into the fabric of UTS’ research lifecycle. This case study explores UTS’ approach to embedding and demonstrating research impact through the initiative, and its use of Symplectic Elements and other Digital Science tools to support its data collation processes and embed a culture of impact into daily workflows.
This case study covers:
- How UTS is building and utilising ongoing impact case studies to demonstrate the tangible outcomes of its research endeavours.
- Reflections on how to culturally embed the importance of impact throughout the research lifecycle, and how to engage researchers and faculty in the ongoing collation of data.
- Preparations for the next Engagement and Impact Assessment following the Australian Universities Accord.
- UTS’ long-time strategic partnership with Digital Science.
