IMPACT IMPROV!

In this fun and off the cuff session we will pose your questions to our guest speaker. By the way, we will not be giving the questions to David in advance so this will be interesting for sure.

What to expect:

When you register, provide us with your question.

During the event, we will pose your "crunchiest" questions to our special guest and impact extraordinaire, Dr David Phipps of York University in Canada. David has been provide organisational capacity for translation and impact for over ten years and is very well placed to answer strategic questions.

There will be time during this session for our breakout networking sessions where you can meet likeminded people working and interested in research impact.
