Future awards will be anchored in the Scholarship of Engagement (SoE) for Societal Impact (SoE-SI) framework, which serves as a guide for staff, students, and community partners in aligning their work with UWC’s strategic objectives, national priorities, and Societal Impact transformative indicators. To further support this work, the SoE-SI Toolkit has been developed as a resource for ongoing and future research projects, offering practical tools such as UWC and faculty-specific societal impact guidelines, a social impact checklist, project evaluation criteria, budget guidelines, and impact indicators (SDGs, NDP, IOP, Graduate Attributes, CESM categories, and OECD well-being indicators).
