Making an Impact 2019 Framework

The Making an Impact 2019 Framework consists of impact clusters (based on the definition of impact in the REF2021 Guidance on Submissions, p.68) and a knowledge and skill axis (based on the Knowledge Exchange Framework (p.8) perspectives). Elements of the framework that are relevant to each activity are indicated within the programme. You can build a tailored experience of Making an Impact 2019 based on your own research impact needs, ambitions and interests.

Illustrated below are the impact clusters identified for REF2021 (outer coloured diamonds) and the seven proposed knowledge and skill perspectives of the KEF (navy blue core) to help participants understand and frame their engagement in the Making an Impact 2019 programme.
