Welcome to the MU Research Impact Toolkit

At Maynooth University, we recognise the importance of ensuring that our research reaches beyond academia, influencing and benefitting society, the economy, and the environment.
 
The MU Research Impact Toolkit is designed to support our researchers at every stage of their research journey, from planning and designing impactful projects to measuring and demonstrating their real-world influence.
 
The toolkit offers practical guidance, resources, and examples to help you embed impact into your research planning and execution. Whether you are a seasoned researcher looking to deepen the reach of your work or just starting out, our toolkit is tailored to assist you in making a meaningful difference with your research. These tools and resources are designed to support you in creating lasting, positive impact. The toolkit is split in to five sections and you can access each section using the links on the right of the page.
