 Is it too early to think about REF2027?

 a free online workshop for ANYONE Interested in RESEARCH MANAGEMENT

Monday 
27th June

1pm-2pm

HOW SOON IS TOO SOON?

You may be screaming ‘Yes’ to the title of this webinar, but we know that the REF, for good or ill, will not be ignored for long. Many of you are probably in your institutions fielding ‘what next?’ questions while still deeply involved in post-REF analysis. Whatever shape the next assessment exercise may take, this is your opportunity to hear from University of Bristol, Birmingham City University and Northumbria University about the different approaches these institutions took to prepare for REF2021, to reflect on what they’ve learned and how this will shape their future plans. Do join us for an honest and engaging discussion and a safe space to share your thoughts on ‘how soon is too soon?’
