South East Technological University (SETU) Office of Research, Innovation & Impact has announced the winners of its inaugural Impact Case Study Competition, an initiative designed to showcase the profound positive societal impact of SETU research. The competition was led by Dr Saoirse Cummins, SETU's Engaged Research and Impact Officer. With expert support from trainer Saskia Walcott of Walcott Communications, participants took part in tailored workshops and one-to-one training sessions to enhance their ability to evidence and communicate their research impact to wider society. A total of 18 case studies were submitted, each demonstrating how SETU research is addressing challenges, supporting communities, influencing policy, and working in partnership with industry and regional stakeholders.

These case studies highlight how our researchers are not only advancing knowledge but also making a tangible difference to people's lives, communities, and enterprises across the region, and beyond." Prof Marie Claire Van Hout, Vice President for Research, Innovation and Impact at SETU, added, "At SETU, we are committed to ensuring our research delivers real benefits for society and for the region we serve. The Impact Case Study Competition has brought this to life by capturing examples of how our researchers are driving innovation, informing policy, and working with communities and businesses to create lasting change." The competition, facilitated by TU RISE funding, reflects SETU's strong commitment to research that matters - research that is connected, collaborative, and focused on creating real-world benefits. The Impact Case Studies are now available to read on the new dedicated research impact webpage on the SETU website, offering a powerful insight into how SETU research is shaping a brighter, more sustainable future for the South-East region and beyond.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Saskia Walcott of Walcott Communications in this episode. Saskia has had an unusual journey into the research and higher education sector. Following a career in communications and public relations, she joined the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). She has also worked for universities before starting her own consultancy company. She recently published an article talking about her experiences as a black woman in research management in the UK. We talk to Saskia about her career and her experiences including the reaction to her article, the burden placed on minority groups to lead from the front in tackling discrimination and how generational changes may impact on how we create a more equal and diverse research management environment in the future. Do subscribe, rate and review our podcast. This is the final episode in the first series. Keep an eye out on our twitter (@Divrespod) to follow the latest developments and conversations. We will be back in the Autumn. 

This week, Mark interviews Saskia Walcott, an independent impact expert who has helped researchers generate and evaluate their impact for over 15 years.

David Renton (Garden Court Chambers) joins Saskia Walcott to discuss recent changes to the Employment Tribunal System.

Anna Vignoles from the Institute of Education speaks to Saskia Walcott about her paper 'Parents' skills and children's cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes', presented at the CMPO conference 'Early life interventions and intergenerational mobility' in October 2011. Previous research has suggested a positive intergenerational relationship between a parent's childhood cognitive skill level and their own children's skill levels. Yet we also know that individuals' skill levels change during childhood and into adulthood, not least as a result of their education, training and work experience. This paper provides clear support for the notion that identifying parents with poor literacy and numeracy skills can help us predict which children are most at risk of having poor skills themselves.
