What we can offer

Impact is the demonstrable contribution that excellent research makes to society and the economy. 

Research grant applicants are encouraged to explore, from the outset, who could potentially benefit from their work in the longer term, and to consider what could be done to increase the chances of their research reaching those beneficiaries.

According to RCUK, applicants are encouraged to think carefully about the three questions asked within the Impact Summary and Pathways to Impact section of applications-

  • Who might benefit from their research?
  • How might they benefit?
  • What will be done to ensure that potential beneficiaries have the opportunity to benefit?

UCL Museums can offer help and assistance to deliver impact. We can help develop an exhibition to showcase your research, creating a forum for the public to engage with UCL research. We can also help to organise events and advise on the development of workshops geared towards your preferred target audiences, stakeholders and partners. Additionally, we can host events, workshops and receptions in our museum spaces.

Please have a look at the following examples and rough costing sheet for more information.
