University of Kent AHRC Impact Acceleration Account

AHRC IAA的目标是显著推进我们的覆盖范围（扩大规模）；我们受益者的多样性（扩大规模），以及变化的深度（维持影响）。这将导致我们研究组合的影响和知识交流的直接变化，并将看到我们实现通过推动经济，环境和社会变革对我们周围的世界产生积极影响的战略目标-无论是在全国还是在我们的地区。肯特大学的艺术和人文研究主要围绕三个优先主题展开。它们分别是：历史与遗产、社会与环境、健康与福祉。这些主题是多学科的，反映了肯特大学艺术和人文学科内外的研究优势，并与AHRC和UoK的研究重点保持一致。IAA有四个目标和相关的工作包，我们将通过这些目标和工作包加速影响我们的优先主题：实施“快速反应”资助计划，以便对新机会作出快速反应2。发展、测试及推行社会企业开办及发牌新模式（工作二）为每个主题建立多部门战略伙伴关系网络。提供有针对性的影响力发展培训和工具包（WP4），以加强我们的知识、能力和能力。总的来说，通过IAA，我们将成功地增加创意、创新和雄心，在AH知识转移和影响方面。

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.
