The traditional university model is reaching its sell-by date. There is an emerging need for research practice to demonstrate relevance through building the ability to deliver measurable, meaningful impact (including knowledge transfer and societal responsibility).HEI leaders need to develop the capacity to facilitate innovation in a faster-moving world and to explore the context in which research impact is democratised as a practice, to deliver results (economic, societal, environmental). The Democratisation of Research Impact Strategy Conference 2023 provides fresh perspectives on how HEIs, through research impact, need to stay relevant to compete effectively in a turbulent world. This conference seeks to bridge the gap between theory and academic practice and to influence the evolution (and revolution) in HEI research impact practice.This conference is for members within the HEI ecosystem who need to understand the emerging “New Game” of research impact, improve outcomes, and to influence people, policy, practice and communities. This conference includes individual researchers, researchers in public or voluntary organisations, support workers and anyone interested in getting evidence into action.
