What are the impacts of research to the society, and to you as a students and how did it change your point of view towards research?
Answers
Explanation:
Research impact is the effect research has beyond academia. The York Research Impact Statement (PDF , 286kb) describes research impact as “…when the knowledge generated by our research contributes to, benefits and influences society, culture, our environment and the economy”. More detailed direction and objectives for research impact at York are set out in York's Strategic Framework for Impact (staff only)
The type of impact your research might have is specific to each project and therefore, like research, impact is wide ranging and varied. Some of the key areas of research impact include;
Cultural impact
Economic impact
Environmental impact
Social impact
Impact on health and wellbeing
Policy influence and change
Legal impact
Technological developments
