Impact is at the core of the European University Alliance ENLIGHT¹ mission. One of ENLIGHT’s key objectives is to promote a culture of impact both within and beyond its partner universities, by developing good practices of impact-directed management, integrating impact into higher education, research, innovation and service to society. To this end, the ENLIGHT Impact Task Force has been developing several initiatives to raise impact awareness, literacy and readiness in and beyond the alliance, including a repository of good practices on research impact, a methodology and toolkit for the impact assessment of higher education activities, impact awards, training actions and the international impact conferences. Additionally, ENLIGHT chairs the FOREUALL Impact Topical Group, a collective of impact experts and practitioners from European University Alliances, dedicated to advancing good practices and collaboration on impact-related activities.
