Hidden REF extends deadline in response to lockdown

We want to encourage debate about how research is evaluated, about the people who contribute to research, and the outputs they produce. We do not want to add significant extra work to people’s workloads. This is why, in response to the latest UK lockdown, our committee has decided to extend the Hidden REF submission deadline to 14th May 2021.

We hope that the new deadline will allow people the time needed to deal with their commitments under lockdown, to take part in the vitally important REF exercise in March 2021 and then to contribute their equally important submissions to the Hidden REF in May!
