This online course is designed to help researchers at the University of Greater Manchester develop their understanding of the REF2029. This course has been designed by Prof Patrick McGhee and draws on UKRI/Research England official REF Guidance, UGM Research Strategy and related documents, managed through an AI platform. The course has an initial check-in review which is revisted at the end of the course to confirm learning. We welcome feedback on this specific course and this approach in general. (The course contains some legacy references to the University of Bolton).
