In practical terms, this means assessors are looking at **who** you engage, **why**, **what** activities youdo, **how** you measure it, and **whether** you take a sufficiently professional approach to planning and managing this process i.e. how well you integrate it as part of your overall project.  ![charlie kudos colours](https://blog.growkudos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/charlie%20kudos%20colours.jpg?width=332&name=charlie%20kudos%20colours.jpg) They then look at the extent to which the research itself, and the engagement you have undertaken, have created impact, and what evidence you have captured of this.  The **skills** involved in planning, actioning, measuring and reporting on engagement and impact are thus becoming fundamental to being a researcher, but many researchers feel they don't yet have the skills they need in this area. **Kudos can help**. Our team has decades of experience in research dissemination, communication, engagement and impact. And our new cloud-based service, Kudos Pro, gives you professional tools for creating, executing, measuring and reporting on engagement and impact. ## **Join us for a special 1-hour webinar with Kudos co-founder Charlie Rapple, exploring:** - Trends in what funders such as the ARC expect of researchers, in the context of Engagement and Impact  - What questions they will be considering as they evaluate your grant applications or undertake ERA / EI evaluations - Best practices in identifying and engaging target audiences, including the best communications channels to use, and the best tools for managing and measuring your activities.  ## **You will benefit from this 1-hour webinar if :** - You want to increase the likelihood of funding success by sharpening your engagement and impact skills - You want to plan and manage your engagement and impact better, to make it easier to provide reports and evidence of your achievements - You need to track or measure engagement and impact, but don’t know how to do this in a meaningful way across a wide range of activities and outputs. **"The webinar was great!** **I would strongly recommend it to any researcher looking to reach a broader audience."** *Dr Kamesh Viswanathan, Department of Chemistry, Laval University*   Share [Share on Twitter (Opens in new window)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.growkudos.com/events-and-webinars/step-by-step-practical-actions-to-drive-engagement-and-impact&text=Step%20by%20step:%20practical%20actions%20to%20drive%20Engagement%20and%20Impact) [Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.growkudos.com/events-and-webinars/step-by-step-practical-actions-to-drive-engagement-and-impact) [Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.growkudos.com/events-and-webinars/step-by-step-practical-actions-to-drive-engagement-and-impact) ### Keep up to date with the Kudos Events & Webinars ### Related Articles # [![How to create a communications plan for funding success : Pacific standard time](https://blog.growkudos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/charlie%20kudos%20colours.jpg?width=720&name=charlie%20kudos%20colours.jpg) How to create a communications plan for funding success : Pacific standard time February 24 2020 / By **Charlie Rapple** By popular demand, we are re-running some of our best attended webinar series to give you a chance to join a live session and take the opportunity to.
