About The Role

Several AHRC Impact Acceleration Projects since 2022 have created research impact resources which have the potential for further development and to be targeted on new users.
There is a need to research potential new beneficiaries, conduct new research impact activities, capture the uptake and analyse the outcomes. The focus will be on projects that have developed a wide range of educational, community and exhibition resources which achieved substantial impact in their original pilot/case study.
The aim would be to develop the sustainability of their impacts through work with schools, community organisations and heritage/cultural organisations. This Impact sustainability project will be overseen by a Lead working in conjunction with the original principal investigators of the impact projects.
