Research evaluation beyond traditional bibliometrics. Through a series of roundtables and an extensive survey, we learned that academic leaders want broader, inclusive academic evaluation and a more holistic approach to research evaluation incorporating broader impact on society. This webinar will explore the results of the roundtables and surveys conducted throughout 2023 before exploring the perspective of leaders from universities and funding bodies around the topic of academic and specifically research evaluation.
Of the very real challenges that the world faces today, be it climate change, pandemics, or sustainable economic growth, these are clearly articulated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Each and every-one, of the 17 Goals, demand research and innovative solutions and are unlikely to be solved by individual researchers. They require collaboration between problem owners, teams of multidisciplinary researchers, cooperation across national boundaries and collective endeavour. In this webinar, join us in a deep dive into the assessment and evaluation of the impact of SDG research. We will hear perspectives from 3 experts from government and academia. We will then discuss how the evaluation of broader impact, is important to helping us understand the progress, best practice and evidence sources that can help demonstrate impact towards the UN SDG Goals.
The worlds most pressing challenges are complex and will require consistent funding and extensive collaboration to deliver the solutions and impact society needs. Join us in this final webinar of the series where we will explore the wider considerations across the triple helix of innovation through the perspectives of experts from academia and a funding body. The webinar will explore the challenges we face when looking to achieve for example the UN SDGs or address complex challenges and how broader, holistic and inclusive evaluation systems and frameworks are required as a part of this.
