Is research impact predictable?

WEBINAR SERIES | APRIL 23/24, MAY 21/22
A series of diverse and thought-provoking discussions with leading regional and global experts to understand the challenges in nurturing and capturing research impact.
There is a perception in science and policy management that challenges in capturing impact limit our capacity to better innovate. But growing evidence shows that better innovations stem from cultural changes, co-design, co-production, trans disciplinarity, collaborations, diverse and skilled workforce. By measuring our productivity in these areas, can we predict what our impact will be?
