I love a good coincidence: this interesting read on the historical evolution of research assessment in the UK published on the same day as we announce the membership of the Advisory Panels for REF 2029. Our Advisory Panels evolve as the exercise and the sector evolves. For REF 2029 we are committed to recognising the diversity of roles and forms of research are key to the vibrancy of the UK research sector. Very much looking forward to working with our new critical friends: https://lnkd.in/e6Ew26fQ Alis Oancea Simon Macklin The Research Excellence Framework (REF)

We're pleased to announce the membership of the Research Excellence Framework advisory panels  Rebecca Fairbairn, REF Director, said: “Each REF exercise is an evolution from the last, and REF advisory panels play an important part in that. Our new advisory panels will embed knowledge and expertise on the diversity of people, approaches to, and forms of research that are essential to the vitality of the UK’s research base.  We are delighted to have been able to build panels full of people with the skills and experience needed to shape our criteria-setting and assessment processes from all four nations and from a variety of institutions. Thanks so much to all who applied, we had a strong field with many more appointable applicants.” https://lnkd.in/eXyjBTjP
