Research Impact

Research impact has been identified as a core part of UCC’s research mission and strategic priorities, and, in simple terms, is about defining how research is important and what effects it is having in local, national and international contexts. It represents both the reasons for and the reach of our research activities in response to emerging and changing societal challenges and research priorities, which the impact agenda itself contributes to and shapes.

Here are some recent case studies on completed and ongoing research projects in the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences (CACSSS), developed by researchers at all career stages (including postgraduates, postdoctoral researchers & professors). The case studies were completed using an Impact Case Study Template and associated Template Guidance Document (designed by CACSSS Research Support).

Together they showcase our commitment to an open and engaged research culture and to nurturing and celebrating excellent research across the College.
