The repository of international good practices on research impact assessment and measurement aims at bringing together in a single place good practices of impact assessment and measurement, both in the context of ENLIGHT Universities and worldwide.

Impact at ENLIGHT
Impact is at the core of the mission of ENLIGHT and, as such, one of its main objectives is to promote an impact-based culture within ENLIGHT universities, including the promotion of a model of good practice of impact-directed management and the integration of impact across Higher Education, Research and Innovation activities.
For that purpose, ENLIGHT research impact team has developed a repository of international good practices on research impact assessment and measurement; it has also launched the call for Impact Awards to recognise and give visibility to research endeavours at ENLIGHT universities that are exemplars in planning for and achieving impact and nominated the ENLIGHT Impact Ambassadors; it has also co-organised the ENLIGHT Impact Conference on 27-28 March 2025; and has launched an ENLIGHT toolkit for the self-assessment of research impact awareness, literacy and readiness.
Second ENLIGHT Impact Conference to be held in Groningen 27-28 March 2025
The second Impact Conference will gather international impact experts, practitioners, academics and management staff to share and extend progress on the topic of impact in the university context. The conference will focus on integrating impact into all facets of university missions, including education, research, innovation and service to society. Through the lens of an impact-driven university model, participants will explore strategies for breaking down silos, promoting collaboration and embedding impact into their daily work.
