A panel discussion chaired by *William Cullerne Bown* (Founder and
Publisher of Research Fortnight) with: *Professor Douglas Kell* (Chief
Executive of the BBSRC), *Professor Nick Tyler* CBE (Head of Civil,
Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, UCL), *Professor Geraint Rees*
(Director of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL) and *Dr Chris
Hale* (Deputy Director of Policy at Universities UK).

Some of the topics to be considered include:

* What do we mean by research impact and can we ever truly measure it?
* Is all impact equal? How are different forms assessed and weighted?
* How does impact fit into the UK's policy and research agendas?
* Is measuring impact about improvement to society or solely economic
return on public investment?

This event is brought to you in partnership with the *Society of Biology
