The inaugural University of Edinburgh Impact Festival will take place 28-30 May.

The festival will celebrate the engagement and impact of our research. It is an internal event aimed at the University’s research community, including researchers and academic colleagues at all career stages from PhD to professorial levels, and technical and professional services staff involved in supporting and enabling research, engagement and impact.

A range of events will take place, across our campuses, which aim to:

  • Increase awareness in the research community of the engagement and impact of our research.
  • Highlight the importance of engagement and impact on careers.
  • Inspire colleagues through examples of good practice.
  • Highlight opportunities for further support.

The first Research Impact prizes will be presented at the Celebrating Impact event on 30 May and the full programme is now available for booking:
