RCUK Expectations for Societal and Economic Impact

The Research Councils give their funding recipients considerable flexibility


and autonomy in the delivery of their research, postgraduate training and
knowledge transfer activities. This flexibility and autonomy encompasses
project definition, management, collaboration, participation, promotion and the
dissemination of research outputs; this approach enables excellence with
impact.
In return, the Research Councils expect those who receive funding to:

demonstrate an awareness of the wider environment and context in


which their research takes place

demonstrate an awareness of the social and ethical implications of


their research, beyond usual research conduct considerations, and
take account of public attitudes towards those issues

engage actively with the public at both the local and national levels
about their research and its broader implications

identify potential benefits and beneficiaries from the outset, and


through the full life cycle of the project(s)

maintain professional networks that extend beyond their own discipline


and research community

publish results widely considering the academics, user and public


audiences for research outcomes

exploit results where appropriate, in order to secure social and


economic return to the UK

manage collaborations professionally, in order to secure maximum


impact without restricting the future progression of research

ensure that research staff and students develop research, vocational


and entrepreneurial skills that are matched to the demands of their
future career paths

take responsibility for the curation, management and exploitation of


data for future use

work in partnership with the Research Councils for the benefit of the
UK
