This Oxford Education toolkit provides practical tools and prompts for thinking through pathways to impact and knowledge exchange (KE). It is especially useful when you are beginning to design Knowledge Exchange activities and includes information and advice on:
- An introduction to KE.
- Evaluating KE activities
- Engaging with stakeholders during KE activities
It also contains an extensive bibliography linked to KE and research impact.
