On Wednesday 13 May at 12 noon (BST), we will be leading a webinar on “What makes a compelling ICS for REF2021”. Since 2009, we have been working with leading research organisations globally to help them identify, capture and report the impact of their work. Currently, Vertigo Ventures are working closely with many universities in the United Kingdom, Australia and Hong Kong to help them best prepare for their national research assessment exercises for instance, REF 2021 in the UK.
Drawing on this extensive experience and expertise in the research impact area, this webinar will outline the elements of a compelling and high-scoring Impact Case Study, focused particularly on REF2021. This will include relevant REF 2021 guidance, a 4* Impact Case Study checklist and our mapping template.
