SOCIAL IMPACT OF RESEARCH

CONCEPT NOTE

Research has played a vital role across the globe in human development. During past many years a complaint has been voiced that the research is not contributing as significantly towards society as it contributes in science and technology. During past three years at ICRPE it has been highlighted time and again that impact of research must comprise the societal outputs for, societal use and benefits. Social impact of the research can bring positive changes in the society and society can reap the benefits of successful research studies only if the results are implemented accordingly. Various authors have been introduced social impact with different names and titles which refer to the societal impact of research: third stream activities, societal benefits, societal quality, usefulness, public values, knowledge transfer, and societal relevance.
