Speaking about a funders perspective of #impact at the recent #ImpactIgnite conference was a great opportunity to discuss the future of #AI in impact tracking and evaluation... what are your thoughts on its potential?

Who else can see the planet parade tonight? After the sun fully set we spotted Uranus (we think) and Neptune was just to the left of Venus but our little telescope couldn't find it.

One of my sessions at the 'Securing EU research funding by communicating and demonstrating societal impact' workshop, hosted by the Lithuanian RDI Liaison Office LINO and organised by the organisation for Advancing and Evaluating the Societal Impact of Science AESIS Network. #KE #Collaboration.

Just for a giggle... is this too many post-its for putting organisational #impact data and its drivers into grouped areas to identify improvement opportunities?

I think online passes may be available for my workshops on securing EU funding through demonstrating societal impact next week. If interested, please see aesisnet.com/events/euf25/ and ask @Aesis. Note: if my sessions are popular I'll see if we can share my content for @EIT Food collaborators.

EIT Food contributed to a recent summary of #AlternativeProtein research in Europe curated by the Good Food Institute Europe. See gfieurope.org/science/#rep.... Lots of great insights such as #Fermentation #research being the current leading investment type.
