Module 2: Learning Path Valorisation and Impact

Module 2: Impact through research: focusing on your own practice

Ever think about the impact that your work can have outside of academia? Would you like to explore how you can increase the impact you’re already making? IXA developed a learning path on getting involved in valorisation and creating impact.

In this module, you will work on your own idea. During two interactive half-day sessions, you will further develop and concretise your idea.
