IOE Early Career Impact Fellowship 2024-25 Showcase

Join us as we celebrate the achievements of the 2024-25 cohort of UCL Institute of Education Impact Fellows!

They will recount stories about their rewarding experiences and the challenges they had to overcome as they exchanged knowledge, fostered collaborations with community groups, policymakers and practitioners and attempted to make a unique contribution to society through the application of their research, encouraging each other in the process as part of a group of innovative researchers and doctoral candidates.

The event will also mark a key milestone in our journey to develop a sustainable and inclusive impact culture at the UCL Institute of Education: it has been five years since a small faculty pilot was co-created with early career researchers for early career researchers.

We are now proud to bring together professional and academic experts from across UCL and share the latest insights in research engagement and impact with all members of our research community through open online workshops, whilst continuing to support Fellows' activities with targeted funding and coaching. Find out more about the Fellowship programme.

This session is of particular interest to all researchers and professionals who wish to find out more about embedding engagement and impact in their projects, as well as IOE doctoral candidates and early career staff considering whether to participate in future cohorts of the Fellowship. You don't want to miss it! Book your place now.
