Engagement Delivery Group

The IHE Engagement Delivery Group drives our engagement and co-creation activities. We span the definition of engagement – from working with the end-users of our technologies, through to engaging with policy-makers to enact real-world change.

Research doesn’t take place in a vacuum and engagement with stakeholders outside of higher education is how we ensure our work is prioritised, developed and designed with impact and translation at the forefront. We’re equipping the IHE community with the skills and knowledge they need to develop a strategic approach to engagement.

Our activities

IHE Impact Fellowship

Impact banner

In October 2020, we launched our IHE Impact Fellowship scheme – a one-year programme that trains a cohort of early-career researchers to build their engagement skills and grow their network beyond university walls. 

Over the year, the Impact Fellows receive in-depth training in a spectrum of engagement and impact activities, from social media for academics through to working with policy-makers. This training culminates in a tangible engagement output at the end of the year.

How does this benefit researchers?
•    Researchers will build their engagement skills by receiving personalised training and mentorship
•    Build a network of external stakeholders and UCL engagement experts
•    Put this training into ‘real-life’ practice by the end of the scheme
•    Enhance their CV with a Fellowship position including certificate upon completion

In June 2021, the first cohort of IHE Impact Fellows used their strengthened engagement skills to present their research to the general public. The ‘Science Showcase’ was a jargon-free public event intended to highlight how UCL research is making a difference in the world. Our Impact Fellows had to distill their work into a five-minute presentation.

A breathing aid that can help keep Covid-19 patients out of intensive care, adapted by our engineers at UCL and clinicians at UCLH working with Mercedes-AMG HPP, is now being used in over 150 NHS hospitals. The designs have been made freely available for international use and have now been downloaded by over 1900 teams in 105 countries - we are now supporting these teams to manufacture locally.
