This group seeks to support GuildHE Research institutions making their first or second submission to REF, and colleagues in leadership roles new to running the exercise at their current institution.

The sessions offer the opportunity to:

  • Surface challenges for first-time entrants and those relatively new to REF.
  • Provide peer support for those entering for the first time.
  • Gather intelligence and insight to share with Research England about a group of institutions with which they have no current direct relationship.

Invitations with more details have been sent to relevant members.
