The REF team have announced an update on the People, Culture and Environment (PCE) element of the REF2029 exercise.
A project has been commissioned to co-develop, with the research community, indicators to be used for the assessment of PCE. These indicators will be used to evidence and support institutions’ PCE submissions as part of a structured questionnaire for REF2029 submissions.
A pilot exercise to enable in-depth testing of the PCE indicators will run alongside the project. This will involve the drafting of example PCE submissions by a sample of HEIs for assessment by pilot panels, in a selected subset of Units of Assessment (UoA).
More details can be found on the REF2029 website, along with information on how HEIs can get involved in the pilot.
The team have also released an updated timetable for the REF2029 exercise.
