University of Kent AHRC Impact Acceleration Account

AHRC IAA的目标是显著提高我们的覆盖范围(扩大)、我们受益者的多样性(扩大)和变化的深度(维持影响)。这将导致我们整个研究组合的影响和知识交流立即发生变化，并将看到我们实现我们的战略目标，即通过推动经济、环境和社会变革--包括全国和整个地区--对我们周围的世界产生积极影响。肯特大学的艺术和人文研究围绕三个优先主题展开。它们是：历史与遗产、社会与环境、健康与福祉。这些主题是多学科的，反映了肯特郡艺术和人文学科内外的研究优势，并与AHRC和UOK的研究优先事项保持一致。IAA有四个目标和相关的工作包，通过这些目标和相关工作包，我们将加快在我们的优先主题中产生影响：1.实施‘快速反应’资助计划(WP1)，使之能够对新的机会做出快速反应。开发、测试和实施社会企业创业和许可的新模式(WP2)3.为每个主题建立多部门战略伙伴关系网络(WP3)提供有针对性的影响发展培训和工具包(WP4)，以加强我们的知识、能力和能力。总体而言，通过IAA，我们将成功地通过知识转移和影响增加创造力、创新和雄心。

The aim of the AHRC IAA is to significantly advance the extent of our reach (scaling 'up'); the diversity of our beneficiaries (scaling 'out'), and the depth of the change (sustaining the impact). This will result in an immediate step-change in impact and knowledge exchange across our research portfolio and will see us achieving our strategic goal of positively impacting on the world around us through driving economic, environmental and social change - both nationally and across our region.Arts and Humanities research at Kent is focussed around three priority themes. These are: History and Heritage, Society and Environment, and Health and Wellbeing. These themes are multidisciplinary and reflect research strengths across and beyond the Arts and Humanities at Kent as well as being aligned to both AHRC and UoK research priorities.The IAA has four objectives and related work packages through which we will accelerate impact across our priority themes: 1. Implementing a programme of 'quick response' funding (WP1), enabling rapid response to new opportunities2. Developing, testing and implementing new models of social enterprise start-up and licensing (WP2)3. Establishing multi-sector strategic partnership networks (WP3) for each theme4. Providing targetted impact development training and a toolkit (WP4) to strengthen our knowledge, capacity and capability. Overall, through the IAA we will have succeeded in increasing creativity, innovation and ambition across AH knowledge transfer and impact.
