Evaluating Societal Impact team

As the Academic Lead I want to foster the transition towards societal impact at the EUR. I provide overall direction for ESI and ensure that it is well aligned with the agenda of the board and the various entities within the university.

As a Project Manager I create the preconditions that enable the team members to work towards the main objectives of the project: developing an impact governance structure and methods for impact evaluation with and for the EUR community. This will help the EUR community to work on their impact in a more structured way and to become an impact driven University!

My role in the ESI project is to study the evaluation of societal impact. I also contribute to developing our research methodologies. Finally, I maintain our links with the international scientific debate about impact.

As a Junior Researcher at ESI, I work within a team to help create the building blocks to facilitate EUR’s advancement towards becoming an impact-driven university. This involves developing schools’ impact strategies and ambitions, as well as creating and testing interactive evaluation tools.

My job is to make sure that our team delivers impact evaluation methods to people at EUR in a useful and ’user-friendly’ way. Building on my background in human-centered design (product-, graphic-, and interaction design) I translate theories into hands-on tools that are rooted in people’s needs and wishes. (Perhaps I can even make them fun!)

As a junior researcher, I work on developing impact strategies, evaluation, and governance structures to enable the creation of positive societal impact at EUR. I carry out research activities, advise internal stakeholders, create impact enabling tools, and organize communications and events to bring together EUR and society.

Together with our team, I provide advise on how to formulate school-level impact ambition and strategy as well as monitoring and evaluation frameworks, methods, and metrics that reflect individual and team values.
