Your research and capabilities have huge potential to make a positive difference in the world. They can improve our economy, our environment, our society and culture, or all of these. As researchers, we can make a difference by partnering with industry, government and community groups. EQUS is committed to giving its researchers the skills and support to drive these partnerships. In this information session, you’ll get a taste of the skills you’ll need to make a difference with your research, and you’ll learn about an intensive research translation mentoring program, Ascend, starting in early May, that will help you develop and communicate these skills and take your research closer to impact. EQUS will sponsor successful EQUS applicants to participate in the Ascend program.

This information session will help you:

Understand the importance of creating positive impact with your research
Get a taste of the skills you’ll need to find and engage with external partners to create this impact
Find out and ask questions about the challenging Ascend program, in which you’ll learn and develop these skills: who the program is aimed at, what you’ll learn from it, and the time commitment required.

Who is this session for?

EQUS researchers at any career stage, in any discipline, who are interested in making a positive difference in the world with their research and capabilities.

When is it?

Presenters

This information session is presented by Cruxes Innovation, the designers and presenters of the Ascend research impact program. Cruxes helps research organisations and universities unlock the huge potential of Australian research to make a positive difference in the world. We believe that the best way to do this is to give researchers themselves the skills and support to drive partnerships with industry, community and government. Over the past four years, Cruxes’ founders have delivered similar programs to over 600 Australian researchers in all fields, at all stages of their careers and research projects.
