Workshops and events

Your work as a researcher and teacher is important. But how can you increase your social or economic impact?   The IXA Impact training (six full days over a six-month period) addresses these questions and more:

• How do you present a convincing story on your research, focusing on output and relevance?   
• What strategy do you deploy?   
• Who could be interested in your project or idea?   
• How can you approach media, government agencies or companies?   
• How could you increase the social or economic impact of your research?  

In the IXA Learning Path, you will learn the first steps of valorisation and creating impact. The goal? To inspire you, gain new skills and make you aware of the power of value creation. You learn how to actually achieve impact with your research. Do you want to explore what your research can do outside academia? Sign up for the next Learning Line.  

The Amsterdam Science & Innovation Award (AmSIA) is an annual event organised by IXA. This is the Amsterdam competition for the most innovative ideas with a positive impact on society. It is open to all Amsterdam-based researchers and students. Since its inception the award has generated over 700 innovative ideas.  Many of these have led to concrete, impactful applications and form the basis for new companies.
