Impactful by Design

Join us for an expert webinar on how to translate PhD research for industry influence. 

Featuring publisher and award-winning journalist Dr Erin O’Dwyer, governance expert and author Dr Jacki Johnson, Regional Director for the National Industry PhD Program Sabine Straver, and business commentator Narelle Hooper, the session will feature a candid discussion on emerging challenges and opportunities to have impact beyond academia.

Drawing on decades of experience inside and outside academia, the panel will explore how to bridge the gap between academic research and industry significance. 

You will walk away with:

1. A fresh take on why research too often fails to have real-world impact.

2. How to leverage storytelling to bridge science, corporate and public understanding. 

3. How to design your research with government, policy makers and mainstream audiences in mind. 

4. Emerging pathways now available to PhD candidates who want to make a difference – including industry PhDs, independent publishing and new media opportunities.

The discussion and audience insights will inform a white paper for PhD candidates and researchers seeking to make research impactful by design. 

Thank you to Campus Plus, National Industry PhD Program provider, for supporting this event and subsequent white paper.
