Presented by Emeritus Prof Kerry Carrington (HASS) and Emeritus Prof Chris Saint (STEM)
This workshop adapts existing expertise on impact case studies (for ERA etc) and helps research groups to learn how to tell compelling stories, with evidence, about the impact of research. Rich stories can be used for many purposes: to reach stakeholders and partners, to engage the public and to build centres that attract emerging scholars. They can also be powerful ways to explore and show research strengths that are not captured by metrics alone. This workshop is suitable for research groups and centres.
Delivery: online or in-person
Size: max. 30 participants

As a scholar, Kerry has a wide international and national network that works collaboratively to disrupt the dominance of knowledge from the English-speaking countries by bridging global divides. The global sale of knowledge through journals locked behind pay walls disadvantages many in the global south. She am passionate about establishing and promoting open publishing and open science as a strategic way of levelling the playing field and democratising knowledge. Kerry is also a promoter of translation, have translated articles from Spanish to English, and am on the editorial boards of several journals published in Spanish, and another 7 in English.

Chris has spent half his career in an industry research setting and half in an academic setting and for the last 20 years this has involved developing R&D plans and strategy with a complementary focus on the needs of industry and academia. This work has created several key long-term partnerships both in Australia and overseas. During this time he has been Director of several International Research Centres both within academia and industry. These roles have increasingly given him experience at mentoring and developing junior colleagues with regard to making important collaborative connections in industry and academia and the writing of research grants and publications.
