Varna Rossi Associate Professor, Ravensbourne University London discusses evidencing impact for promotions and fellowships such as NTF, through these broad questions. How can academics move beyond traditional metrics to better articulate their real impact? Any ‘tricks’ about gathering and presenting evidence of impact when applying for fellowships or promotions? What models can academics use to map, evidence, and communicate their impact effectively?
Mentoring for education focused academics!
A peer mentorship scheme (either as a mentor, mentee or both) specifically for education-focused academics was launched on the 8th July 2025 at the ESLTIS online. The proposed scheme would be UK wide, and would be run through the ESLTIS network. If you are interested in taking part, please sign up for the free conference using the link below. If you can’t make it, but would still like to participate, then please get in touch with me at jt52@st-andrews.ac.uk.
