This troubling case illustrates why for #REF2028 we are leading efforts to shift the incentives in research away from, ‘publish or perish’ towards research environments that support more positive research cultures

In the interests of boosting this discussion and normalisation... we're sharing this thread on the challenges of parents needing to travel for work.
We'll be sharing more in future on making conferences accessible to a broad spectrum of researchers and innovators.
18 Jul 2023
I feel we also need to talk more about these issues and worries so that they can be normalised and maybe conferences and events can plan budgets if possible to support childcare. If you have examples let me know as I’m organising @CHIWORKsymp next year!

This is an insightful piece by @LizzieGadd on the challenges the funding bodies face in developing the people, culture and environment elements for REF 2028 and how important it is to get it right. And yes, we do love a consultation
