Preparing for the next REF

The Research Strategy and Innovation Office have launched a new website collecting information about the post-2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment, and explaining how the University is preparing for this exercise.

Visit The Post-2014 REF Exercise to find out about:

  • Open access requirements for REF
    Certain types of output must meet specific requirements for open access in order to be eligible for submission to the next REF.
  • Interim Research Reviews
    Commencing mid 2017, this project will involve an external review of the research activities in each REF Unit of Assessment.
  • REF selection tool
    Allows researchers to select outputs from their Enlighten record for assessment in the Interim Research Reviews. The tool also allows researchers to check whether the output is eligible for submission to REF in open access terms. (MVLS staff do not need to select outputs via the tool)
  • News and updates
    Here we will post sector developments, including the REF guidelines when these are published. Keep checking the site as the long-awaited technical consultation on the format of the next REF is due to be launched in late November 2016.

RSIO will continue to update these pages with information about the REF and about the Interim Research Reviews.

Please note that access to the site is restricted to on-campus users only.

2016 Paul O'Gorman Christmas Carol Concert - December 3

  • Date: Saturday 3rd December 2016
  • Time: 5:30-6:20pm (join us for tea and coffee from 5pm!)
  • Venue: University Memorial Chapel, West Quad
  • Register to attend

The University of Glasgow Development and Alumni Office is organising a Christmas Carol Concert in support of the Paul O’Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre (POG-LRC).

Based at Gartnavel General Hospital, the Centre provides a much-needed research facility giving both clinicians and researchers access to the most advanced facilities and equipment. 

Since it opened in 2008, the research team has doubled and the Centre has attracted international leaders in leukaemia research who translate laboratory findings into new treatments for patients. This research helps to make a positive difference to the lives of patients living with leukaemia. Regular fundraising donations are vital to ensure the scientists working there can continue their ground-breaking leukaemia research. 

This concert is an opportunity to gather friends and supporters of the Centre together with members of the community to help raise funds for POG-LRC and to raise awareness of Glasgow's world-changing research. We are delighted to be joined by The University of Glasgow Chapel Choir and we hope to be joined by pupils from a local school or community choir.

If you wish to attend, please register here.
