Knowledge Exchange and Impact Team

We work alongside researchers to enable engagement with policy makers, practitioners, industry and the public.

We are well networked across the University and with a wide range of external stakeholders which enables us to connect researchers with one another and with research users.

We:

• Provide platforms for researchers to engage with the public including at the Edinburgh Festivals.
• Run learning events and provide advice on how to engage and develop research impact.
• Broker relationships withresearch users in the public, private and third sectors through events and meetings.
• Provide funding for projects via the CAHSS Knowledge Exchange and Impact Grant, the University’s Economic and Social Research Council Impact Acceleration Account.
• Advise on how to source external funding for engagement with research.
• Coordinate networks of colleagues working in public engagement and knowledge exchange.
