This recently launched toolkit has been created to help researchers plan how to maximize the societal impact of their research. This valuable resource was created in partnership with the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU), Dutch University Libraries and the National Library Consortium (UKB), with the help of a survey of over 9,000 researchers across different disciplines.

In this new toolkit you will discover:

• What societal impact is and how important it is to researchers
• Methods researchers use to maximize societal impact
• How to engage and communicate for impact
• How to evaluate societal impact, and much more

More information:

This toolkit provides insights to help you think about the right channels to use to reach your audience within and beyond academia, the methods available based on your discipline, as well as evaluation techniques for different impact pathways. Choose the question sections most relevant to you and navigate content including:

• Case study interviews with 12 senior researchers who share their experience with societal impact.
• Examples of impact plans from early career researchers.
• In-depth survey insights on motivations, perceptions and actions to achieve maximum societal relevance in your field of research.
