A reminder that the three-part webinar series from hivve titled Preparing for Impact in REF 2029 starts next week.

Following the December 2023 announcement from UKRI that REF would be postponed until 2029, this free series is aimed at UK academics who want to get to grips with research impact in general, what the REF requirements are, and how they can begin preparing to ensure maximum success and minimal stress for the 2029 assessment.

The hivve team has been working with institutions since REF 2014 to help prepare for the impact element of the assessment, including the development of Impact Case Studies (ICS), and we are looking forward to sharing our experience with you in the new year.
