About
Funders, governments, and partners are asking institutions the same question: what has your research actually impacted? The institutions that answer well are not always those with the most impact. They are the ones who can find it, evidence it and tell the story.

Join Elsevier for a practical, conversational session on how the impact case study repository helps institutions identify and organise potential impact stories from their research outputs and data. You'll see the repository demonstrated live, hear how the data and AI-assisted methodology work, and understand the responsible-use principles behind it.

We'll also be clear about what the repository is: a starting point that your research office and library validate and build on, not a set of finished case studies.
