Types of impact 

The types of impact that can be created from a research project can be wide ranging and varied depending on the project. A project is not limited to having one type of impact and could potentially have two or more. Below is a table from UKRI defining the types of impact and the exemplars of the evidence that can be used to verify impact: 

 

Impacts on Understanding, Learning and Participation Impacts on Creativity, Culture and Society Impact on Social Welfare
Impacts on Commerce and the Economy Impacts on Public Policy, Law and Services Impacts on Production
