Event Details

We are having a meeting to examine audit requirements for Research Excellence Framework (REF).  We hope to attract those involved in managing REF and open access exceptions on a day to day basis with a view to sharing best practice and clarifying interpretations of the guidance.  We will feedback questions and comments from the group to representatives of Research England REF team who we have been in dialogue with.  We are expecting a Research England representative to be in attendance and they are keen to listen to our views to inform updated audit guidance.
