Impact toolkit

Our Pathways to Impact Toolkit gives you everything you need to achieve the maximum impact for your work. The toolkit includes information on developing an impact strategy, promoting knowledge exchange, public engagement and communicating effectively with your key stakeholders.

The ESRC expects that the researchers it funds will have considered the potential scientific, societal and economic impact of their research.
