Abstract:
“Scaling impact” is a coordinated effort to achieve impacts at optimal scale, undertaken only when morally justified and warranted by evidence. The scaling impact training course pack, includes the agenda for the training, a summary of key concepts, instructions to the exercises, resources, and further reading. The term “scaling science” embraces two meanings: 1) Science of scaling: Empirical, systematic understanding of scaling and how it can increase the likelihood that innovations will benefit society; 2) Scaling scientific research results: An approach to scaling the results of scientific research to achieve impacts that matter. “Scaling impact” challenges common conceptions of scaling.
