Colleagues,
HEFCE have now published their consultation on the Research Excellence
Framework. It may be found at
http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/hefce/2009/09_38/. MeCCSA will be formally
responding to this, and will review a draft response at its next Executive
Committee meeting. Members who have points they wish us to consider or
include are invited to send notes of these as soon as possible, and by no later
than November 20th. Comments should be sent to Natalie Fenton
([log in to unmask]).
Members may particularly wish to consider:
1. The configuration of panels being proposed, especially as it relates to
our field (Panel D).
2. The proposed timetable
3. The relative weighting and means of assessing the components of
output quality, environment, and impact.
Of course, comments on any other aspects of the Consultation on which you
would wish MeCCSA to comment are very welcome.
Peter Golding
Hon. Sec.
