The ARC has now released results for the first Engagement and Impact assessment that accompanied the ERA research exercise.
The E & I assessment was introduced in December 2015 by the federal government to examine how universities translate their research into economic, environmental, social, cultural and other benefits. Each Unit of Assessment (UoA) was considered, with Field of Research 19 ( Studies in Creative Arts and Writing) and 12 ( Built Environment and Design) of most relevance to creative arts researchers.
High – medium – low assessments were made in three areas:
-
Engagement: the extent to which university research engages with ‘end users’ outside academia
-
Impact: the impact that university research has outside academia; and
-
Approach to impact: institutional approaches to facilitating the impacts.
