ABOUT US

Walcott Communications is a specialist research impact consultancy that helps individuals and organisations realise meaningful economic and societal impact from their research. Born out of a passion for a straightforward approach to knowledge exchange in the Higher Education sector, Saskia Walcott, founded WCL in 2010 becoming a pioneer provider of impact training in the UK. Today, our impact services and consultancy have grown to support the research impact lifecycle, from impact planning and strategy, including REF impact case study development to impact training, monitoring and evaluation.

 

We work with academics and senior teams to deliver strategic support, build a positive research culture, develop effective impact monitoring and evaluation, and achieve REF results. We understand researchers' challenges in identifying pathways to impact and communicating the outcomes, and, through our impact skills training, we equip them with the tools, techniques, and confidence to generate meaningful social and economic impact from their research.​​

 

From academia to large charitable organisations, and from life sciences to the arts and humanities, we take the time to understand the unique impact needs of our clients. We value collaboration and will work with you to ensure that the strategies, frameworks and solutions we develop make the best use of your resources and deliver sustainable impact for your organisation.
