Research funding agencies as well as universities increasingly seek to understand and assess how research translates into societal impact. Attempts to promote and measure knowledge exchange between academia and society as well as to capture the impact of research has increased. Most indicators focus on bibliometric and economic outputs which are relatively easy to measure, however it is more difficult to answer the broader societal benefits.
Invited speaker: David Budtz Pedersen

Professor Budtz Pedersen's research focuses on science communication, impact assessment, science and higher education policy. He is Principal Investigator of several large-scale research projects on research assessment including 'Responsible Impact', 'Open Research Analytics' and 'Mapping the Public Value of Humanities'.
