EARMAimpact is an active community of expert practitioners specialising in many aspects of research support. The main purpose of this thematic group is to provide a forum for knowledge-sharing and collaboration in order to facilitate changes required to support the increasingly “impact-driven” research culture that exists in the European Higher Education (HE) sector.

The group intends to investigate barriers in impact awareness and identify opportunities for practitioners to increase their knowledge of and skills in research impact. EARMAimpact will discuss, assess and advise on relevant guidelines, policies and procedures. We shall also issue advice where needed on appropriate actions institutional, national and international levels.

Collaboration space

You can participate in EARMAimpact by joining the special collaboration space on EARMA's community platform. Join the group.
