The hidden REF is challenging preconceptions about which roles are important in research – and this is no small task. Fortunately, there are many ways in which you can help.
Raise recognition
The more people that know about the hidden REF, the more likely we are to succeed.
You can help by raising recognition of the campaign at your organisation and with your contacts. You can follow us on Twitter and retweet our announcements, you can raise awareness through talks, meetings or announcements at your organisation. If you would like materials for presentations, then please get in touch.

Volunteer your time
We’ve got a big task ahead of us, so there’s always plenty of room for contributions from volunteers.
You can help us run the Festival of Hidden REF. You can help us understand the way in which research is recognised by conducting studies and reviewing existing sources of data. You can also help with running the website, with design, publicity and promotion, and with the analysis of current research assessment practices and other suggestions made by the research community. If you’ve got an idea about how you could contribute, please get in touch.
If you would like to volunteer, please leave your details below.
