CABLE Research Impact Awards 2021

The CABLE Research Impact Awards 2021 recognise research impact beyond academia, the expertise-based input into topics of relevance for communities, society, and the economy, and celebrates how research influences policy, practice and/or people’s levels of awareness.

Ceremony

History shows that research can significantly affect society and the economy. Real-world, non-academic impact of the work produced by researchers at the CABLE faculties was recognised and celebrated on 2 December 2021, the same day the University announced that in 2022 it will for the first time recognise and celebrate research impact as part of the University’s annual Research Excellence Awards event.

The CABLE Research Impact Awards 2021 initiative follows in the footsteps of a successful Research Impact Competition run by the Business School in 2020.

The Associate Deans (Research) of the CABLE faculties and Prof Ilan Oshri, who chaired the judging panel, thank all those who submitted an impact case for their participation and the judges for their time and dedication in the assessment and decision-making process for the CABLE Research Impact Awards 2021.

View below the list of awardees of the CABLE Research Impact Awards 2021. Each impact case was awarded $1,000.00. If you have missed the online awards ceremony on 2 December, you can watch the recording here.
