The Global Guide to Research Impact
The world now has 1.8 billion young people aged 10-24; the largest generation of youth ever. 600 million of these are young women. Research on young people has been growing since the 2000s but 
youth voices and perspectives are all too often overlooked and sidelined. This space is dedicated to the practice of centering youth voices at all stages of the research.
“Nothing about us without us”.

In our latest blog Inés Arangüena breaks down the Researcher Impact Framework (RIF) — a super practical way to show the real-world impact behind research, not just the publication count.
✨ Why it’s worth a read:
💡 Clearly explain the difference your work makes
📚 Connect outcomes to real evidence + activity
🤝 Highlight impact through collaboration, knowledge sharing & community
📊 Use metrics that actually matter (not just journal impact factors!)
If you’re a researcher, communicator, or anyone trying to share the story behind your work… this framework is a game-changer.
