transdisciplinary • Relationships outside the

• Media and documentation
• Cultural institutions
Next REF? Optimising opportunities
• Collaboration across units of assessment and institutions • National art institutions • Panel of peers • User assessors – Nominations
‘Institutions should be permitted to submit impacts that evolve over long time-frames to successive REF exercises, with each REF assessing the specific impacts that have taken place during the assessment period.’
