REF, Impact and KEF
The issue of research impact within the REF is one we have been working on with our members over many years. We first tackled the subject back in 2006 when it was still a nascent area, commissioning research on the impacts of some of the early LCACE Seed Fund projects.
Since then we have programmed regular events on the topic including:
The Ref: How was it for You Research,
Research, Creative Practice and Impact Roundtable
REF 2021: Impact Guidance Workshop
As work around the proposed Knowledge Exchange Framework develops apace, we were pleased to be invited to talk at Westminster Higher Education’s Forum, ‘Developing the KEF: Collaboration, metrics and the effect on the sector’ (July 2019). We are developing plans for KEF workshops from Autumn 2019.
