Should we include a ‘research teams' category to the competition?
A suggestion from the Festival was to add a category to focus on, and celebrate research teams - let us know your thoughts as comments here.

You can also suggest categories/changes at hidden-ref.org/hidden-ref-com…

We've started a slack workspace for the community and keen to hear from more people.
If you'd like an invite to join the conversations, email [email protected]

I got to chat with The hidden REF creator Simon Hettrick and chat all things research assessment!

Really enjoyed this discussion on research assessment, @HiddenREF and Octopus.ac with Octopus creator, Alex Freeman, and Jisc's Emily Wild.

What change is needed, what's preventing it, and how it can be done...

Thank you #UKFCFM2024 for inviting the The hidden REF talk! It was a pleasure!

REF 2028 becomes REF 2029... This gives us more time to make sure that some of the positive changes to the REF are picked up by HEIs.

Saw this one coming. A good decision though

Our first cohort of the The UK Institute for Technical Skills & Strategy & Nottingham University Business School Executive Programme in Strategic Technical Leadership came to a close today. It’s been a joy to work with this group of leaders over the past 5 months! Huge thanks to everyone who helped to make this possible #classof2023 ! 👏

⁦The hidden REF⁩ Research underpinning REF ICS also dominated by traditional outputs. Opportunity to virtue signal or else a complication of underpinning research and non traditional research outputs.

Opposition to changing the REF shows why change is needed. Excellent article from committee member Gemma Derrick on the ResearchProfessional website:
