REF 2029

The submission deadline for the next REF is drawing nearer. Now is the time to be well prepared for REF 2029.

REF submissions are becoming the responsibility of a new generation of senior researchers. Many people are getting involved for the first time, drafting impact case studies or contributing to the People, Culture and Environment element.

As guidance is gradually released and new elements are added, even those who have been involved in previous REFs may feel unsure of their ground.


Preparing your REF 2029 submission

To help you achieve the strongest possible results and make the process easier for everyone involved, our comprehensive offer includes training, development workshops, draft assessments and editing/writing options.

Our highly experienced team has helped universities strengthen their submissions and enhance their star ratings for two previous REFs. We work across all UoAs and can tailor our offer to your requirements.

“I just wanted to thank you for your support in compiling our impact case studies and to let you know of the fantastic outcome. 60% of our impact case studies were rated as 4* and 40% as 3*, which is a fantastic result. All of the impact case study leads are in accordance that this could never have been achieved without you!”
