ÌÇÐÄTV

You are invited to attend the upcoming Sociology Impact Speed Meets, Wednesday April 29th, 14:00 - 16:00 at the Creative Community Space on Floor 2 of the Main Library.

Organised by the Research Impact team, this session is an opportunity for colleagues from across the University to come together for a Sociology Impact Speed Meets— a fast‑paced networking event designed to showcase sociological research and its impacts, build connections, and spark new interdisciplinary collaborations.

The session will open with an introduction from Cliona Boyle, Head of Research Impact. Cliona provides strategic and operational leadership for the University’s research impact, overseeing the delivery of the institutional impact strategy and the REF impact submission. She will offer a short overview of the University’s approach to impact and the wider context for this event.

We will invite attendees to share a 5‑minute speed introduction on their impact‑related work linked to sociological research. These introductions will take place in pairs, giving colleagues short, focused opportunities to present their work to one another before rotating to the next colleague.

Colleagues from the Impact Team and ÌÇÐÄTV Institute of Engagement will also be present to answer any questions.

Overall, our aim is to highlight the breadth of sociological impact work happening across departments and explore how we can strengthen collaboration and impact.

We hope you will be able to join us.

Kind regards,

Dr Nadine Otting

Impact Development Officer (Faculty of Social Sciences)
