Who is it for

This is a repeat webinar for the fully subscribed Getting started with impact evaluation training event. This time, there is no limit to the number of attendees, and anyone interested in impact (of research infrastructures) is welcome to join. You do not need to be part of ELIXIR. 

The event will be shorter (2.5h) and less hands-on (no group work using MURAL) than the original event, yet still providing the core contents. Learning will again be facilitated by impact evaluators from our partner EFIS - see their article on this very topic! 

Objectives

Gain new knowledge and skills related to impact evaluation, through formal teaching
Complement this with knowledge-exchange based on four ELIXIR-relevant case studies developed during the first event (Skills & capacity-building; Service provision; Cloud investment; Cooperation)

Outputs and related events

Outputs from this event (incl. slides and video recording) will be made available through the ELIXIR Intranet (requires login). The video recording will also be posted here. 

This event is part of the CONVERGE WP4 Workshop Series: Innovation, impact & communication - previous events were about Stakeholder mapping and landscape analysis, Outreach to funders and policy-makers, Communications, Getting started with impact evaluation (original event), and Organising impactful hybrid conferences.

        Topic description
        Main ELIXIR Impact area


        Skills & capacity-building
        Setting-up and running a MOOC as part of a EU-funded project
        Human capital, skills development, e.g. better skills for users and resource providers


        Service provision
        Developing and operating a bioinformatics service (e.g. database, software, etc)
        Research efficiency, e.g. faster, easier, more integrated


        Cloud investment
        Investing in storage/compute for infrastructures operators to accelerate the creation of data assets (e.g. reference genomes) for others to use in their research
        Research efficiency, e.g. faster, easier, more integrated


        Cooperation
        Establishing and running an industry engagement programme
        Relationship capital, e.g. benefits of working together, facilitated knowledge-sharing & cooperation
