38 Impact of Science Room & 13 June 2017, Stockholm Public Engagement Chaired by: Alan Leshner Of the AAAS Leshner Institute for the Public Engagement of Science, USA Recommendation: A new theme for impact needs to be outcomes not outputs. Citizens can be assistants in research not juts subjects Involving the beneficiaries from the outset increases the potential impact of the work.
