MillionPlus response to REF2021 guidance and panel criteria

MillionPlus welcomes the proposals to increase emphasis on interdisciplinary work within REF2021. Such proposals, alongside the creation of an Interdisciplinary Research Advisory Panel (IDAP), will hopefully improve the confidence and ease with which institutions will submit interdisciplinary work. MillionPlus raises concerns about the potential equality and diversity impacts that might occur from the dual decisions to submit all individuals and to decouple outputs.
