What’s it all about? And what do researchers and institutions need to do right now?
Thursday 3 July 2025, 10.00 to 12.00 on Teams
[REGISTER HERE]
With institutions gearing up their preparations for REF 2029, this Clinic will provide a strong grounding on the fundamentals and practicalities of REF for both researchers and administrators across the arts, humanities and social sciences. It will cover the constituent elements that make up a REF submission both at Institutional and UoA level, highlight significant policy changes in REF 2029, and overview guidance known to date and the University’s approach to this. Key resources and contacts will be highlighted.
The session will consist of short presentations from colleagues working in lead professional service roles supporting the University’s REF preparations with plenty of time for Q&As.
Come to this session if you have any REF questions no matter how big or small and we’ll do our best to address these! Whether HESA, volume, impact, research culture, decoupling of outputs or more besides.
Speakers:
Dr Andrea Salter, Research Strategy Manager and REF Lead for AHSS
Lynne Meehan, Research Services Manager, University Library
Dr Marie Collier, Research Culture Project Manager
Anna Allen, Deputy Research Information Manager
Tamsin Varney, Impact and Knowledge Exchange Coordinator
