Research Impact: In Search of Meaning

Pooria Pahlavan

Research impact is increasingly framed through metrics - but what exactly is impact? How measurable is it? Should all scientific research be expected to lead to impact, or are there alternative forms of value? To what extent is impact correlated with skills and creativity, relative to other factors?
This talk aims to challenge some of the most common conceptions of research impact through an interactive discussion.


The M&TT Colloquia is a colloquium series that is organized within the department of Maritime and Transport Technology at Delft University of Technology. The organization is done by PhD students from this department.
