Policy makers and research funders ther efore place the question of societal impact at the top of their agenda. Ho wever\, knowledge transfer\, as the skills and knowledge necessary to make research accessible beyond the academic sphere\, often plays only a minor role in university curricula and the daily routines of research institute s. This three-day training programme is tailored to up-and-coming research ers who want to learn the skills necessary to maximize the impact of their research beyond academia. The sessions will be held by renowned experts i n their respective fields and cover the three dimensions of scholarly impa ct: economic\, political\, and media impact.\n\n \;\nImpact School 201 8: Science Transfer in the 21st Century\nSeptember 17th - 19th | HIIG | Fr anzösische Straße 9 | 10117 Berlin\n \;\nParticipants\nThe training is aimed at up-and-coming researchers from all disciplines (e.g.\, PhD stu dents\, postdocs\, junior faculty). In the course of the training\, partic ipants will understand concepts and tools of science impact as well as sci ence transfer and learn how to apply them to their own research.\n\n \ ;\nCall for Applications\nParticipants are asked to apply with a letter of interest\, giving a brief overview of one of their own research topics an d how the training could increase the societal impact of their research (a pprox. 500 words). The training is limited to 25 participants.\n\nParticip ation is free. Participants can apply for a travel allowance of up to 200 € (depending on the expenditures that will be actually incurred). In tha t case\, please include a statement and a short explanation of the costs t o your application.\n\nApplications should be sent to Susanne Melchior (s. melchior@zbw.eu) by August 10th\, 2018 with the subject line “Impact Sch ool 2018”.\n\n \;\nTraining Concept\nThe training is divided into th ree modules\, representing three different impact dimensions: (1) media &a mp\; society\, (2) politics\, and (3) business. Societal and media impact includes interaction between researchers and actors from civil society\, l ike scientific journalism and citizen science. Political impact focuses on how research can support informed political decision-making. Business imp act is generated when scientific insights are converted into business mode ls\, for example\, in spin-off companies or patents. Each day of the three -day training focuses on one of these impact dimensions.\n\nThree differen t training formats are used: Practice sessions (P) involve practitioner ex periences and active discussions between experts and practitioners (2 hrs) . Theory sessions (T) are upfront and input-oriented (2hrs). Skill session s (S)  are designed as interactive workshops in which participants learn skills relevant for the dissemination of their research (4 hrs).\n\nA sche dule will be updated shortly.\n\n \;\nOrganizers\nThe impact school of the Leibniz Research Alliance Science 2.0 is organised by Impact Distill ery (mStats DS GmbH)\, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW)\, the ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society.\n\n \;\n\nDr. Marcel Hebing\, Impact Distillery (mStats DS GmbH)\, Berlin\nDr. Benedikt Fecher \, Alexander von Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft\, Berlin \nNataliia Sokolovska\, Alexander von Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft\, Berlin\nDr. Guido Scherp\, ZBW Leibniz Information Centre f or Economics –  German National Library of Economics\, Kiel\nSusanne Me lchior\,  ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics –  German Natio nal Library of Economics\, Kiel\nProf. Dr. Isabella Peters\, ZBW Leibniz I nformation Centre for Economics – German National Library of Economics & amp\; Kiel University\, Kiel\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.hiig.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i s2018-16x9.png CATEGORIES:Netzwerken LOCATION:Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society\, Französische Straß e 9\, Berlin\, 10117\, Germany X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Französische Straße 9\, B erlin\, 10117\, Germany;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Berlin X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Berlin BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20180325T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
