​Testimonials

​​

"The workshop delivered by Anne was insightful and engaging, making impact and engagement feel achievable rather than abstract. As a first-year PhD student, attending the workshop at the project design stage was particularly valuable, as it shaped how I think about impact from the outset of my research. It helped me clarify how to identify and involve relevant stakeholders, plan knowledge exchange activities alongside academic outputs, and translate research findings into forms that are accessible and useful beyond academia."

Jiayu Wang, PhD Student, University of Queensland

"Anne’s workshop on research impact and engagement was highly valuable, particularly for early career researchers like me. It helped me think more clearly about who to engage with so that my research implications move beyond abstract discussion. The practical tools introduced in the workshop have been especially helpful in shaping how I approach impact and engagement in my work."
