Second Year Cohort Day: Understanding the impact of your research
This event gives PhD students the opportunity to find out about ‘impact’ and what it means to researchers, the college and the Research Councils, as well as to consider the impact or potential impact of their own research and how this can be communicated to others.
The 2022 Cohort Day will run in two separate remote sessions plus one in-person session. It is recommended that students attend all sessions.
This event gives PhD students the opportunity to find out about ‘impact’ and what it means to researchers, the college and the Research Councils, as well as to consider the impact or potential impact of their own research and how this can be communicated to others. The successful contemporary researcher must be able to identify the various ways that their research is disseminated within academia and also how their research can inform public policy, practitioners, behaviors and organizations etc.
The mid-point of the doctorate can sometimes be challenging; you may have had a few setbacks, your research may be changing direction or feel uncertain, and you may find that you’re experiencing a dip in your motivation. This session aims to help keep you going with your research, by reflecting on your journey so far and identifying what may hinder or help your progress. We’ll discuss unhelpful beliefs, feelings or behaviours that doctoral students often experience (eg imposter syndrome, procrastination, stress) and give you some tips to combat or manage them.
This networking brunch is an opportunity for Year 2 doctoral students who have attended the Year 2 Cohort Day training on research impact to get together with their peers and practice their new skills. Join the Doctoral College team and your fellow students for a chat over some refreshments. Meet the Queen Mary Impact team, understand the impact potential of your research and ask any questions.
