Playbook sits down to talk research and regulation with the new(ish) vice-chancellor of Brunel
Like most vice-chancellors, Andrew Jones is likely to have the Research Excellence Framework at the forefront of his mind this morning. The full results are due to be published at midnight—as Playbook readers know only too well.
Jones took over as head of Brunel University London at the start of 2022, and he tells Playbook that the mood ahead of the REF results is dictated by the stop-start nature of the information being sent through to institutions this week—not to mention the years of preparatory work involved in getting to this point.
