Understanding Impact in Music Research: A Training Workshop for PGR students and Early Career Researchers

The workshop is an opportunity for emerging researchers to learn more about Impact in Music Research, to explore some of the issues and to reflect on the impact potential of their own research.

The day will include presentations by REF2021 Impact Case Study leads, a roundtable session and facilitated breakout groups for students and ECRs to discuss their own impact ideas. Please contact Gabrielle Messeder if you wish to attend online: gabrielle.messeder.1@city.ac.uk, but be aware that joining online will be restricted to audio only and only for the morning session.

We are offering a number of travel bursaries to support students and unsupported ECRs to attend. Priority will be given to applications that support EDI. Please also contact Gabrielle Messeder for further details on the event and on travel bursaries: gabrielle.messeder.1@city.ac.uk.
