Our Vice Dean Research @jelkeboesten welcomes attendees to today’s awards & our Assoc Dean for Impact & Innovation Julia Pearce says the event represents the faculty's strategy to ensure our work has impact - support researchers, share knowledge & promote best practice.

She also welcomed today's panellists Dr Natalie Wall, Stephen Roberts and Briony Turner FRSA. Each will share their thoughts on our six Impact Prize winners 🏆 and our audience today also gets to choose an overall winner who gets an extra £1k. #SSPPIMPACT24

Dr Natalie Wall Briony Turner FRSA 1st winner Dr Clyde Ancarno King's School of Education Communication & Society says adults taught in their mother tongue as a child have better literacy - yet many African schools only teach in English. She created a multilingual toolkit soon being rolled out in Gambian schools & her work has informed new govt policy.

Dr Natalie Wall Briony Turner FRSA King's School of Education Communication & Society 2nd winner Dr Chris Holmes KCL European & International Studies explains how his CitizensEcon project shows that ordinary people can understand & help co-create economic policies. Others across the public sector are now seeking his advice on how best to engage the public on economic policies.

✍️"the median ‘rule of thumb’ (based on annual values) for 4* impact case studies will be approximately £880,000 for Panels A and B, and £480,000 for Panels C and D over the REF cycle." #ResearchFunding wp.me/p4m9em-cWX
