Real-world impact is an increasingly important outcome indicator for both universities and individual researchers. Join us for a panel discussion with leading AUT researchers who will share their interesting – and sometimes unexpected – paths to creating real-world impact.
Our panellists will share their diverse impact journeys, from transforming concussion injury awareness and management in sports, to creating and maintaining meaningful work, to a structural solutions spinout contributing to earthquake resilient buildings.
This event is ideal for AUT staff and postgraduate students interested in creating real-world impact through paths such as policy, education, and commercialisation. Come along and hear from those doing just that – and bring along your toughest questions for them!
Our Panellists
Prof. Patria Hume – Principal Advisor Research and Academic Development and Professor of Human Performance. Her research focuses on sports performance biomechanics and sports injury prevention.
