Research impact

Research impact is the contribution research makes to the economy, society, environment or culture outside of academia. It has become a key aspect of the reporting and assessment of research in Australia.

The Research Impact team works with researchers, schools and departments to deliver:

• Strategic development to ensure La Trobe research contributes to positive change in the world outside academia
• Support and development for researchers in identifying, tracking and documenting the impact of their research
• Internal and external reporting on the impact of La Trobe research
• The University’s submission to the Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) Engagement and Impact Assessment
• Promotion of the impact of La Trobe’s research to our partners and communities
