GUTS aims to create societal impact by connecting research, practice, policy, and the perspectives of young people. Through close collaboration with societal partners, schools, policymakers, youth organizations, and young people themselves, the consortium works to ensure that scientific insights are relevant, accessible, and applicable in real-world contexts. Impact is created through co-creation activities, public engagement, workshops, lectures, and ongoing dialogue with stakeholders across the youth ecosystem. In addition, GUTS invests in training and interdisciplinary collaboration to strengthen knowledge exchange and support the translation of research into practice and policy.
