ABOUT WALCOTT COMMUNICATIONS

We believe engagement and impact are integral to the pursuit of knowledge. Our research impact skills training and strategic consultancy services help make that a reality for the many researchers, universities, and institutions we work with in the UK and internationally. 

 

We work with academics and senior teams to deliver strategic impact 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.

Walcott Communications was born out of a need for a straightforward approach to knowledge exchange in the higher education sector. Founder and CEO Saskia Walcott is a pioneer provider of impact training in the UK. Our team and the services we offer have grown to support the impact lifecycle, informed by our collective experience as academics, research specialists, and communications professionals and shaped by the needs of our clients. 

 

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.

Walcott Communications supports academic researchers to connect their research insights with the people and organisations that can successfully use and apply that knowledge.
