Welcome to the Faculty of Business, Law and Arts (FBLA) monthly Seminar Series.
Seminar overview: A groundbreaking framework to showcase the societal impact of business school research
This seminar will be delivered by Dr Chelsea Phillips.
Business school research has the power to shape society, but demonstrating that impact has long been a challenge. Now, an ABDC-led project has delivered an innovative new framework that helps researchers clearly evaluate, communicate and strengthen the societal impact of their work.
Developed through a year-long collaboration consulting business researchers, the body of literature, and evaluating existing societal impact frameworks, the ABDC Societal Impact Framework captures the people, activities and systems that drive impact. It gives Australian business schools a practical, strategic way to demonstrate their contribution and support even more research that makes a difference.
To find out more in preparation for the seminar, visit the project site and download the framework report.
