The quick and easy answer is, you can’t. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try to, as the exercise in itself is valuable and will help you present your research in broader terms as relevant to many. 

Monitoring impact starts at application or proposal preparation stage where you should define some metrics or indicators that support or evidence the impact you have described. During project implementation, it is important that you keep an eye on impact and be able to report on it. Some funders, such as EU or Plantefonden, have actually formalized their impact framework and will ask you to contribute data to it, in this way making it easier for you. Finally, bear in mind that a lot of the impact your research will have will be achieved through communication and dissemination and these supporting measures can also be used to monitor impact. 

Pathways to impact are basically a roadmap, outlining the various steps that will lead to imp act. In this case, it is important that you are able to guide your reader (reviewer, evaluator) through these steps in a convincing manner, so the logic feels sound and the impact appears trustworthy. 

It is useful to start with your project core, and outline as a start what your project outputs will be. In most cases, these will be research papers and will be quantified in the proposal (= academic impact). Broadening out from here, how will what you discover/ research be used further? Will it be used for new research (research impact) or will it lead to practical applications (technical or technological impact)? And how will your findings, in the long run, impact your fellow earth-dwellers? How will it do this (economic impact, policy impact)? 

In cooperation with ST Finance (ØC), AGRO has established procedures for budgeting, staffing plans, and financial administration. The department has defined guidelines for advance financing as well as departmental co‑funding.

Requests for co‑funding of external projects must be approved by the Head of Department. Any changes or follow‑up activities related to approved internal projects and section accounts must be coordinated between the section head/project manager and the Head of Secretariat.

Many applications, financial templates, and similar documents require the provision of information such as EAN number, CVR number, location number ("stednr."), P number, or PIC number.
