4.3.7 Impact narrative Impact studies comprised two components: the impact narrative and the associated research. Universities were required to clearly outline the research impact and explain the relationship between the impact and the associated research for each unit of assessment. The narrative also needed to explain the contribution the research had made beyond academia, including:
• who or what benefited from the results of the research
• the nature or type of impact and how the research made a social, economic, cultural, and/or environmental impact
• the extent of the impact, with reference to appropriate evidence
• the dates and time period in which the impact occurred.
The associated research which led to the impact presented needed to be described including:
what was researched
•
when the research occurred
•
• who conducted the research and what was the association with the university making the submission to EI 2018. Universities were also required to list beneficiaries related to the impact described and the countries in which impact occurred. In EI 2018, 637 impact units of assessment were assessed, with 277 receiving a ‘high’ rating, and a further 284 receiving a ‘medium’ rating.
Further detail on the impact narrative is available in the EI 2018 Assessment Handbook.
Further information on the outcomes of EI 2018, can be located in the EI 2018 National Report.
