The ARMS Research Impact Special Interest Group holds monthly networking sessions.
The next session is Monday 20 June at 11AM AEST (Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra).
Each month we’ll have a discussion topic to frame the conversation. The aim of the sessions is for our community to meet and share ideas.
Join us in June for the ARMS Impact SIG networking session on the THE Impact Rankings. We’ve got a terrific group of speakers from the UK’s THE and Australian Universities that excelled in the impact rankings in 2022. They will share their experiences, including their preparations for the rankings submission, lessons learned, and advice to other Universities who wish to demonstrate their commitment to the SDGs.
