A Practical Guide to Measuring SHAPE Impact and Learning

This course empowers university staff and academics to effectively measure, evaluate, and learn from Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts for People and the Economy (SHAPE) commercialisation and impact programmes. Discover how to move beyond traditional metrics, capture diverse forms of value, and use insights to drive continuous improvement and demonstrate the profound societal contributions of SHAPE initiatives.

This self-learning course has been created from outputs from the Aspect community, largely through Aspect Testbed project findings. The Aspect Testbed provides seed funding for Aspect members to collaborate and develop joint learnings. Many of the documents referenced in this course are the products of these collaborations, and details of the collaborating parties are displayed in the documents.
