WECR Research Impact Event

Wellington Early- & Mid-career Researchers

The Wellington Emerging Career Researchers (WECR) group is pleased to host an event demystifying research impact. Join other early career researchers from the Greater Wellington science community and our expert speakers to learn about how research impact is measured and evaluated by various organisations around New Zealand.
The aim of our event is to assist you in understanding what is meant by research impact, the various ways of measuring it, how to approach writing impact pathways and potential in funding bids, and what the term means to various sectors including government, industry, and the research sector.
Our guest speakers include Dr. Prue Williams from the Science System Investment and Performance section of Ministry of Business, Innovation &amp; Employment, Dr. Chris Hartshorn the Chief Technology Officer at Callaghan Innovation and Dr. Andrew Cleland the Chief Executive of the Royal Society of New Zealand.
Our current intention is for speeches to be short (around 20 minutes) to allow some time for questions and general chatting giving ECRs access to people like our speakers, and each other, that they may not normally have an opportunity to talk with.
The event will be cross-hosted by videoconference in rooms at both Callaghan Innovation’s Gracefield campus (the Alan MacDiarmid Centre) and Victoria University's Kelburn campus (RB903), with speakers attending the Gracefield location.
Thanks to our generous sponsors who made this event possible:
