Workshop
• A shared knowledge of ‘impact’ and the
potential of the collective
• Emergence of common overarching themes
being addressed across the projects - useful
for engaging policy makers and others.
• Greater appreciation of how working
together can communicate shared
objectives, concepts, methods and
evidence base to a larger group of
stakeholders internationally and nationally.
• Familiarity with selected tools of
dissemination and their potential (and
challenges) in helping communicate
effectively with a wider audience
