REF Manager Outputs, Portfolios

University Of the Arts London is an education management institution which offers tertiary education in art, design, fashion, communication, photography, graphic design etc.

I oversaw the University's preparations for, and submission to, the REF, working with both academic and professional colleagues across the University. Including the creation of 250 practice based portfolios/Integrated Presentations of Research (IPRs). I provided guidance, support and analysis on all aspects of the REF, ensuring compliance with REF requirements and procedures, as well as supplying relevant data to aid informed decision-making. I also oversee other research-related areas such as research ethics and the research environment. I have helped to coordinate the RAE 2008 and REF 2014 submissions for UAL. I was the Communications coordinator at University of the Arts London, overseeing the management and strategic development of the Research section of the website, the social media channels and events which support the development of UAL researchers and the research community and environment, increasing research student recruitment and the impact of our research. I have worked in communications for over 10 years both in London and Sydney. I have specialised in web development and communication strategy, for the specialist art/design research sector. I also have excellent experience in PhD student recruitment and administration.
