A recent Research & Scholarship Showcase panel explored how research moves beyond academic publication — through collaboration, public engagement, policy dialogue, professional networks, and community partnerships.
In an article for @uk.theconversation.com, Nathan Critch @uompols.bsky.social & Darcy Luke argue that the Mandelson vetting scandal exposes deeper constitutional questions about how the UK balances independent scrutiny with political responsibility.

Across all contributions, a key theme emerged: research impact is not a single outcome, but an ongoing process shaped by translation, collaboration, and exchange across academic, policy, professional, and community settings.
