Event details

Creating a narrative arc for your case study early can help you identify actions you need to take now to maximise scores in the next Research Excellence Framework (REF2029) round.

Developing an impact case study is a significant undertaking. Starting this process early can help to gain much-needed clarity, both about your impact project(s) and about expectations for the final product for REF2029. 

In this workshop, Bella Reichard will guide attendees through creating (1) a narrative arc for their impact case study, and (2) an action plan to progress their impacts.

The workshop will be structured as follows:

  1. Attendees will consider different approaches to framing the impact narrative. This can help with prioritising if they have several projects and need to bring them together in a coherent way,or to articulate the core message of their case study if they have one main project;
  2. Based on her research into high- and low-scoring REF2014 impact case studies, Bella will suggest how to write a summary of attendees’ impact for Section 1 of the REF template; and
  3. There will be time for attendees to sketch out a writing frame for the whole impact case study, and to prioritise actions for the next few weeks, months and years.
