Inaugural Impact Programme
Heriot-Watt’s Professorial Inaugural Impact Programme aims to increase the visibility and impact of newly appointed and promoted professors, and to celebrate their achievements.
The programme provides opportunities for our academic leaders to engage with wider audiences, to share their research and teaching expertise and what motivates them.
Find out about the latest developments in a wide range of research areas from laser surgery to geoscience. Learn about the science behind today’s hot topics and discoveries, from real experts, in-depth.
Our Profcast series of podcasts features our professors and their collaborators discussing the societal, economic and environmental impact of their research and teaching specialisms. Listen to all the episodes on your chosen platform below.
Our Panels showcase the interdisciplinary impact of our research and teaching in addressing global challenges. Each event features three professors discussing their areas of expertise, and invites questions from a diverse audience of staff, students and members of the public.

Our new professors are in the well-earned position of being able to shine a spotlight on the work of our talented academics, and the Inaugural Impact Programme provides the opportunity to communicate our impact, engagingly, to a wider audience.
