ABSTRACT Over the course of the last decade, considerable emphasis has been placed by public funding bodies on the need to demonstrate the impact of academic research across all subject areas. The article explores the significance of the impact agenda in Italian Studies, primarily in the UK (with reference to the census of impact case studies included in REF2014) but also in Italy and the USA. The article draws some conclusions on best practice, points to new ideas regarding dissemination and impact beyond the academic community, and identifies upcoming challenges which modern languages in general, and Italian Studies in particular, may be facing in the near future.

学院以外的意大利研究

摘要在过去的十年中，公共资助机构一直非常重视展示学术研究在所有学科领域中的影响的需要。本文探讨了影响研究议程在意大利研究中的重要性，主要是在英国（参考REF2014中包括的影响案例研究人口普查），在意大利和美国也是如此。本文就最佳实践得出了一些结论，指出了在学术界之外的有关传播和影响的新思想，并指出了现代语言（尤其是意大利语研究）在不久的将来可能面临的挑战。
