Improve the continuous effects of research at universities of applied sciences!

The purpose of this website is to provide support in implementing – and reporting on – the continuous effects of research at universities of applied sciences. Resources and experiences are presented through tools, blogs and knowledge clips to help you get started on improving the effects and accessibility of research at universities of applied sciences.

Simply impact

Read this blog by Leonie van Drooge to learn more about how researchers, musicians, archaeologists and other professionals create impact and what lessons we can learn from it for creating impact ourselves.

About tools

How do you ensure that your research has effects? How do you report on that fantastic research you are so proud of? You will find a variety of tools on this website to help you get started on bringing about continuous effects, reporting on research and making the research results accessible, including downloads of roadmaps, checklists, games and canvases. You will also find links to further information and resources here.

About indicators

Indicators allow you to demonstrate that your research has made a difference. But which indicators are best suited to your research? And what should you focus on when using an indicator? Read our tips on using indicators and best practices. Find inspiration in our database of hundreds of indicators and search through it with smart filters.

About blogs

There are many publications and discussions about the social impact of applied research. You can read more about that on these pages, where you will find opinion pieces, blogs on masterclasses, workshops and the experiences and insights of researchers. If desired, your contribution can also be featured here.

About knowledge clips

Impact, continuous effects and valorisation are just some of the concepts that require further clarification. SIAMPI, ToC and REF are abbreviations often seen in texts about the impact of research. Some of these concepts and tools are introduced in an accessible way in knowledge clips to familiarise the reader with key concepts and tools.
