Applications — Research Impact Studio

January 2027 cohort — applications open

Make your idea travel

Research Impact Studio is for PhD candidates, postdocs and early-career researchers with a serious research idea they want to get cited, discussed and used — inside or beyond academia.


Over six weeks, participants work in a small online cohort to develop a practical strategy around one idea.

01 What you want to become known for
02 Who specifically needs to encounter your research
03 Discoverability through search and AI
04 Credibility and public profile
05 Realistic ways to communicate your work
06 Building and testing a dissemination strategy

This is not a webinar series. Participants work between sessions, test ideas with real audiences, receive feedback and leave with a strategy they can use.
