New publication: The The hidden REF White Paper - Shaping the future of research evaluation.
An output from the Festival of Hidden REF, the document outlines the ideas and insights from the community on how to improve research assessment, recognition and celebration of all roles ⬇️

Just leaving my first #UKSG2024 conference. It's been amazing, welcoming and incredibly useful for picking up ideas to support recognition of librarians in research through The hidden REF!

👥The Festival of Hidden REF took place in Bristol on 21 Sep 2023. Find out more about the origins of the event and how it was structured in this blog post by the The hidden REF Committee: software.ac.uk/blog/festival-…

Can't wait to see whose vital-but-unrecognised work we can help spotlight this year.

For now, we're looking for new categories. Please take a look.

We're proud supporters of the The hidden REF and trying to raise recognition for every one who makes research possible.

This session at #EMUKI was all about careers and culture change.

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...

Saw this one coming. A good decision though

My old history of RSEs is looking rather fine now that it's on the new @softwaresaved website. With a DOI and everything!

Fantastic to hear from Steven Hill and how the TALENT Commission ‘shines a light on technical staff’ and how REF will ensure a holistic look at the people who contribute to research. #MITALENT #TALENTConf23

I've been letting the dust settle over the question of what happens next with social media for academics.

What do people think of Bluesky?

Happy we’ve offered places to 203 participants for the 2024 Herschel Programme for Women in Technical Leadership! 💫 By July 2024, 700+ colleagues will have completed the programme, creating an amazing network & addressing the lack of women technical leaders in HE & research 👏
