Yes. I feel really shocked, thanks for the Private Eye heads-up.
It must mean 'we' have 'them' scared. So the impact agenda, however unpleasant I find it, has got somebody on the run?
I now find that having invested time in the following impact activities, I have been wasting my time? or we simply have to Challenge and Turn over this proposed legislation.
** Sample* My Impact Related Activities past 12 Months:
1 week trip to Pretoria for ESRC DFID where I met higher ups in ESRC DFID to talk about Impact
1 day trip to London with same to do same, presented papers at both, invited overseas partners to both
Laboriously explained our terms 'Knowledge Transfer' 'Impact' 'Dissemination' to partners in germany, b'desh, india.
Visited London to influence the Cabinet Office at the Govt Equality Office's request
Helping with the review of DFID's aid (conditional cash transfers) programme as a peer reviewer
Got a CASE studentship with a Partner who links up 7 elements of the Scottish Gov't
Wrote a consultancy paper for the Partner with money arising from Scottish Gov't
Preparing a one day workshp for publicising this paper to... the Scottish Gov't
Wrote 3 Briefing papers
Circulated the briefing papers
held discussions on the briefing papers
Internet circulation of materials related to briefings
Created a facebook group on Integrated Mixed Methods Research, administer it,
Tweeting daily for 2 yrs
Joined and Admin for Facebook group on HEterodox Economics (13.5K members)
Well if this is a sampler I hope we don't get this new legislation passed, or somebody will feel really bad about their work not being usable by gov't?
It feels like a frenzy of activity. Is this what was warned about when a few people opposed the Impact Agenda?

SGR is starting to work with other science campaign groups on this issue, and a petition to parliament has been set up, which we encourage you to sign. A link to the petition and an article explaining the concerns are given below.
