REF,TEF, Green paper, Nurse and Stern; whoops a daisy.
Professor Michael Arthur DM FRCP FMedSci PFHEA President and Provost, UCL
"Throughout my career, I have promoted a close relationship between research and education, with an emphasis on a research-based pedagogy. These fundamental functions of research intensive universities have been pulled apart by methods of assessment and our complex regulatory framework looks set to intensify even more. My talk will critique the impact of methods of assessing research and teaching performance and will critically examine the potential impact of changes that are proposed in the higher education green paper, the Nurse review, the Stern review of the REF and the development of the proposed TEF. My initial thoughts are ‘whoops a daisy’."
