It is where you’ll fnd all our latest
news; and information on our
plans for the platform’s inaugural
Impact Comms Forum, an event
that will examine the types of
communications that have the
greatest impact when it comes to
mainstreaming new ideas.
and initiatives you can join to help achieve
the related goals.
Between editions we’ll have a mix of
podcasts, Twitter chats, webinars and
events to maximise the game-changing
impact of communication; and we’ll raise
awareness across the quadruple helix, in
a way that’s deliberately cross-sectoral,
engaging and digestible.
People power
Our newly launched ‘Impact Comms
Programme’ is an integral part of what
we’re trying to do. It puts people at the
heart of the movement pushing for change.
The sponsored programme asks someone
with skills honed in an industry-specifc
discipline like biotech, food and drink or
clean energy, to report across sectors: to
learn about the growing and necessary
cooperation between them and to take new
communication skills into their future roles.
Carlotta De Toni, who works in food
innovation, is the frst to pilot this programme.
“I’m delighted to be the frst to join the
Impact Comms Programme, designed to let
students and professionals experience the
interconnections between sectors and the
key role communication plays in accelerating
progress and innovation,” Carlotta said.
