Faculty of Humanities

Knowledge exchange and impact

What is impact?

Academic

  • “The demonstrable contribution that excellent social and economic research makes to scientific advances” (UKRI)

Social and economic

  • “The demonstrable contribution that excellent research makes to society and the economy” (UKRI)
  • Fostering global economic performance, and specifically the economic competitiveness of the UK
  • Increasing the effectiveness of public services and policy
  • Enhancing quality of life, health and creative output

Support for impact

Knowledge Exchange and Impact officers work closely with Schools and take forward programmes of work that generate impact from excellent research, creating wider interest in the Faculty of Humanities research and establishing networks with external research users. Officers provide expert advice to academics on how to maximise impact from research projects and funding, collate the necessary evidence of our impact and coordinate best practice in this area. They will also support academics when developing detailed plans in applications for external funding that explain how they envision their research impacting society, beyond the academic world.

In 2021/22, the structure for support will be:

  • Clare Canning (clare.canning@manchester.ac.uk) supporting AMBS
  • Carly Chadwick (carly.chadwick@manchester.ac.uk) supporting SEED
  • Leanne Munroe (leanne.munroe@manchester.ac.uk) supporting SoSS
  • Lucy Stone (lucy.stone@manchester.ac.uk) supporting SALC
  • Hannah Clark (hannah.clark@manchester.ac.uk) supporting the ESRC IAA Fund and Festival of Social Sciences
