Research Published – Social Impact Achieved?

How do we move from publications to real societal change? How do we make sure research doesn’t just circulate among experts, but actually reaches decision-makers, services, and everyday life?

This discussion dives straight into the practical side of societal impact. The INVEST pre-conference will focus on societal impact in concrete terms: how does published research become societal change? How does research-based knowledge move into policymaking, legislation, public services and broader societal discussions? It’s a hands-on discussion about what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to change if research is to make a lasting difference. The event is free of charge.

Welcome to explore how research can move beyond publication and contribute to lasting societal impact!
