“It seems unlikely that if a robust and responsible set of metrics can be developed that putting more emphasis on people, culture and environment will lead to worse research overall.” Well quite.

Thoughtful, considered blog from @UKRI_News I think we forget sometimes what a privilege it is that we have a funder that listens to closely & carefully to the community it works with: wonkhe.com/blogs/its-time-to…

"The appetite to pursue long-term disruptive research is reduced and a focus on the performance of individual researchers perpetuates hierarchies, rather than supporting the collaborative teams of people in diverse roles needed to advance knowledge."

Good to read about this engagement on such an important issue. Having been involved with the Stern review of the 2021 REF, I know that getting the detail of the REF rules right is absolutely crucial to ensure that the framework is fit for purpose. #REF2028
