Research Excellence Framework Strategies for success #ref12
17 Sep 2012
Broadcast from London
As we approach the upcoming Research Excellence Framework, this conference will consider the implications for higher education, but also debate how institutions can look to maximise their impact. In a changing environment which provides new challenges and opportunities, learn from those shaping the new world and how it can impact on your institution. We will also examine the important relationship between UK research growth and stimulating economic growth, and engagement with the public. Manchester Network Hub: Facilitator: Janet Knowles, Partner, Eversheds LLP
