Research impact case studies
As a young university, we are building an evidence-based library of research impact case studies. The selection below demonstrates tangible outcomes and practical solutions arising from TU Dublin research. Each case study is written in plain English and provides credible evidence of change across academia, society, the environment, and the economy.
You can also explore how these case studies align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showing how TU Dublin research contributes to a fairer, healthier, and more sustainable future. Excellence in impact is recognised through the TU Dublin Research and Innovation Awards.
What each case study covers
- Context and need – the problem addressed and who is affected
- Contribution – the research, partnerships, and activities undertaken
- Outcomes and evidence – what changed, for whom, and how we know
- Significance and reach – why it matters and at what scale
- SDG alignment – relevant goals, targets, or indicators
If you are a TU Dublin researcher and would like to propose a case study, please download the Template for Research Impact Case Study (DOCX) and email the Research Impact Lead for support and guidance.
