Three Different Forms of Impact in Engineering
Abstract
This talk is about the journey of the speaker's own experience in preparing his department's submission to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 in the UK. Being the Head of Imperial College's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering since 2008, he was responsible for their REF submission including: formulating the strategy, motivating the department’s sense of purpose, selecting and drafting much of the final submission. The focus of this talk will be on research impact: how he led the department in their submission of five case studies and the impact template document. The success of his approach to impact is clearly demonstrated by the fact that 100% of their entire submission on impact was rated 4* (top rating).
He will conclude the talk by reflecting on the entire REF experience as one of the leaders at Imperial College responsible for REF.
