Online event on Thursday 13 March 2025 14:00-15:00

This is a workshop aimed at REF Impact Leads, REF impact prospect assessment group members, and other colleagues involved or interested in the identification and development of potential REF Impact Case Studies for REF2029. The workshop is organised by the Research Services REF Impact Team at University of Glasgow in collaboration with the College Impact Teams at each College. It is open to all staff at University of Glasgow.

This workshop is part of a bigger programme of training and accompanying resources in response to feedback from REF2021 aiming to further enhance the quality and consistency of assessment of potential REF Impact Case Studies across all Schools and Colleges at the University of Glasgow. Before attending this workshop we recommend that you have attended the previous ‘Orientation for REF impact assessment’ workshop, or watched the online version of this, and familiarised yourself with the criteria for assessing REF impact prospects.  

In this workshop we will:

• Review REF2029’s Initial Decisions where relevant, together with eligibility guidance from REF2021 (in the absence of the expected REF2029 Engagement and Impact policy module). 
• Explore common eligibility queries, concerns, and challenges and how to approach them, drawing on experience from REF2021 of developing Impact Case Studies. 
• Practice how to assess REF impact eligibility in REF impact prospect templates. 
• Direct you to useful resources, people, and future training opportunities.

If you have any questions about this workshop or REF2029 at University of Glasgow you can explore our REF2029 Intranet which is open to all staff, or contact us at ref@glasgow.ac.uk.

If this time and date is not suitable for you, we are also delivering this workshop on Thursday 27 March at 2pm.
