2. Background and objectives of session
– This year, we have introduced the community practitioner afternoon to
explore and further develop the real-world impact of research.
– We want our impact agenda to respond to the needs of both academics
and community partners
– The round table discussions aim to closely explore specific issues
identified by the speakers, or to identify new issues not addressed
before.
– All participants are all seen in an equal standing. There is no ‘leader’ but
there will be a facilitator to maintain focus and record the discussions
and outcomes. Everyone has an equal voice and can speak freely on the
subject.
