What is an Impact Leaders Programme? Launched in September 2015, the programme engages social scientists from the across the University, along with their external stakeholder partners.   The key goals of the programme are to: Improve skill-sets and capabilities, Build and develop relationships with stakeholders to facilitate co-production of research and maximise impact, Promote the exchange of people, skills and knowledge between the University and stakeholder organisations, Drive culture change within social sciences, Speed up the process of getting evidence into practice. The programme is managed by a working group reporting to an Executive team. We launched our inaugural Impact Leaders Programme in September 2015, which engages social scientists from the across the University, along with their external stakeholder partners.   Each academic participant works collaboratively with a stakeholder partner from an external, non-academic organisation with the aim of promoting the exchange of people, ideas, skills and knowledge between the University and partner organisation as well as developing impactful case studies. The key goals of the programme are to: Improve skill-sets and capabilities, Build and develop relationships with stakeholders to facilitate co-production of research and maximise impact, Promote the exchange of people, skills and knowledge between the University and stakeholder organisations, Drive culture change within social sciences, Speed up the process of getting evidence into practice. Working group reports to the Executive team – good mix of academics and professional input inc the PVC for social sciences.

Nicola Pitchford (Psychology), working with Barbara Trapani from VSO International This partnership will build on the School of Psychology’s existing collaborations with VSO, who is the implementing partner of the Unlocking Talent Project (a project targeted at primary school children which uses innovative tablet technology combined with child-centred apps to deliver quality education to all). VSO have established a Community of Practice for participating countries and have embedded the project into their global education strategy. They have strong relationships with ministries of education in the 36 countries they operate in, so are ideally placed to extend this work to improve the lives of marginalised children throughout the world.
