In partnership with Research England, CSaP organised a Policy Workshop on how the next Research Excellence Framework (REF) can do more to recognise and reward positive and inclusive research cultures.
A report of this event is available to download here.
This workshop brought together representatives, academics from Research England with REF practitioners and relevant experts from a number of UK universities.
The workshop addressed the following questions:
- What are the key elements of positive and inclusive research cultures that should be recognised?
- What key evidence is available on research culture that helps identify these elements?
- What are the qualitative and quantitative indicators of positive and inclusive research cultures?
- What are the potential negative unintended consequences of an increased focus on research culture in national assessment? And how can these unintended consequences be avoided or mitigated?
