 ..\n\nABSTRACT:  It seems as if everyone wants to capture and measure the 
 "impact" of research - government\, research funders\, and the REF. But wh
 at do we mean by impact\, why is it important\, and how do we measure it a
 nyway? The talk will look at the background to different kinds of impact\,
  who wants to know about it and why\, and reflect on how we encourage the 
 good stuff\, keep away from the bad stuff\, and above all continue to do t
 errific science and engineering research.\n\nBIO \nUrsula Martin is Profes
 sor of Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London\, where has bee
 n a Vice-Principal\, and Director impactQM\, a major EPSRC funded knowledg
 e transfer initiative. She is a member of the UK Defence Science Advisory 
 Council\, and of the 2013 REF panel for computer science and informatics\,
  and was the founding director of EPSRC's Mathematics for IT initiative\, 
 praised as a model of interdisciplinary good practice. She has published o
 ver 50 papers\, and been PI on over £6 million in EPSRC\, EU and industry
  research grants\, including recent work with Microsoft\, Qinetiq and Inte
 l. Her work ranges from academic pure mathematics\, to applied engineering
  work\, exploited during extended periods in industry laboratories in Sili
 con Valley and Cambridge. The unifying theme is applying computer science 
 methods to mathematical problems\, and more recently she has been working 
 with social scientists to understand how to make online collaborations in 
 mathematics more effective. Ursula Martin is a Fellow of the British Compu
 ter Society\, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications\, and the 
 Institute of Engineering and Technology\, and  was  honoured with a CBE in
  the 2012 New Year's Honours list. She is currently working at the School 
 of Informatics in the University of Edinburgh as a SICSA Distinguished Vis
 itor.
