The tool Impact indicators - overview and selection menu was designed by the Evaluating Societal Impact (ESI) strategic project at Erasmus University Rotterdam for academics and research units who want to indicate how their academic work relates to society. It is a non-exhaustive, broad summary of indicators intended to help understand outputs and outcomes of research in relation to (an intended) societal impact.Researchers, project managers, impact support staff, and reviewers might find this tool useful when writing and assessing grants, drafting impact statements, narrative CV’s, researcher proposals, identifying gaps or blind spots in a research project, or as an inspiration for education and engagement-related activities and their indicators. The indicators list is intended for inspiration and we encourage all users to adapt the suggestions to their own environments and needs.
