If we do not recognise everyone involved in research, we limit our ability to conduct research

The Hidden REF

• Originally a volunteer-led campaign, but now funded by Research England until 2030
• A biannual competition to celebrate non-traditional outputs (i.e. things other than publications)
• A biannual Festival to bring together the research community
• Supported by ~30 organisations from the Technician Commitment to the Royal Society of Chemistry
• Collecting evidence and informing national and university policymakers on how to recognise everything and everyone needed for research
