Vertigo Ventures have led a piece of research commissioned by HEFCE to develop guidance on research impact evidence.

 Following the introduction of  impact case studies to REF2014, it is very likely that policy around research funding will continue to focus on this aspect of assessment. Universities will need to be able to articulate the impact of their research beyond academia effectively and comprehensively both for such assessment and as part of wider stakeholder engagement.

A copy of their report is attached and you can find out more about the report from the Vertigo Ventures website – http://www.vertigoventures.com/#!research-impact-evidence-/cf458
