Welcome to SCI School's "lunch and learn" workshop

Workshop on Personal Impact Plan (PIP)

This workshop on Personal Impact Plan (PIP) aims at giving you a broader perspective on possible future societal impact of your research.
You will learn:

• how to use the tool PIP and reflecting on possible future impact 8 – 10 years from now in different sectors/regions etc. to,
• be better equipped by building your research projects strategically and
• to create a template that you will use for different research applications.

The workshop starts with 30 min presentation followed by group discussions. Lunch will be served.

Please register your participation by June 10:

The reason why we all need to improve our understanding and engagement relating to societal impact is:

• Increased requirements to describe expected societal impact in research applications.
• Increased requirements regarding visibility of your research and what effects it has in society in general.
• Higher international requirements to demonstrate the impact and benefit of research and education
• Task of the Swedish government to show how tax-funded funds are used in universities and colleges

In the attached document you will find more information about our lunch and learn sessions.
