  3. Reasons for Studentship • This studentship sets to investigate, capture and analyse the range of socio-cultural impacts generated by the RAMM in the period immediately after its re-opening • Trend of trying to capture the impact of the cultural sector. • 2 main types: Impact reports and theoretical pieces. • Drivers: • Highlight the socio-cultural impacts • Contribution to knowledge • Academic study (methodological rigour) • Practical use (not just a theoretical exercise)

  4. Considerations for the Project

  5. Strategy to Capture Socio-cultural Impacts of RAMM • Focus on whole service • Concentrate on broad reach of museum • Geographical boundary • Use and non-use values for visitors and non-visitors • Quantitative and Qualitative methods • Large scale surveys, 2 rounds • In-depth interviews • Toolkit • Factor analysis • Pilot
