PD Sessions @ Zoom: A practical narrative/case study writing workshop for research support staff
Research in higher education continues to change and adapt as the sector responds to continuing constraints imposed by limited government funding, the rising costs of research and the recent COVID pandemic.
While research funding bodies, governments and donors can be the primary drivers for gathering evidence that demonstrates engagement and impact, a case study or narrative can also be an effective tool to illustrate the practical support provided by research managers when building researcher capacity, identifying new funding opportunities, capturing research outputs and enabling quality research.
The goal of this professional workshop is to highlight the benefits of using case studies or narratives within organisations to demonstrate engagement and impact driven or enabled by research managers and research support staff. Practical examples will be used to show how cases studies can be a useful approach to facilitate professional development and knowledge transfer when demonstrating the impact of research support.
Narratives such as these are also an effective tool for use during a job interview.
