ACADEMIC RESEARCH AND SOCIAL IMPACT: THE UK REF EXPERIENCE

A) The UK REF (Research Excellence Framework) (https://www.ref.ac.uk)

B) Evaluating Research for public value and social impact:
  - Why do we need to assess/evaluate research?
  - How to assess/evaluate research: a thinking shift from output to outcome?
  - The REF framework: output, (social) impact, environment

C) The three elements of the REF framework
   - The output: academic publications
   - The environment
   - The impact case study: how to realize "social impacts" through academic research activities (I have written a chapter book which focuses on how to "construct impact case study".

D) The system of the "quality levels" through the "stars" (1,2,3,4 stars).

E) REF and VQR (The Italian System for Evaluating the research): a brief comparison
