What we learned

We learned that the approach helped everyone involved think more about how their work contributes to sectoral impact. Other results were also broadly positive, but it did show us areas where we should pay more attention, in particular: 

• We need to communicate impact findings more clearly, including using more visualisations and easy-to-share ways of presenting the data. 

• We should collate the findings of all of the impact reports, and think about the bigger narrative that can be drawn out from them. 

• We need to more clearly communicate the value that the Europeana Impact Framework approach can bring to colleagues’ work. 

• Colleagues would benefit from more training on impact assessment.
