Overview of the Course

Impact has become one of the key evaluation criteria in European research proposals. Researchers have difficulty in understanding the concept of 'Impact' and in explaining the potential impact of their proposals. The aim of this course is to explain the concept of 'impact' and provide researchers and research support staff with guidelines on writing the impact part of Horizon 2020 proposals.
