Consultations
We respond regularly to consultations and calls for evidence from government departments, Parliamentary Select Committees and other bodies.
Proposed Research Excellence Framework (2008)
Our response summarises and highlights community views on the proposals for REF, conveying support for dual funding, non-STEM mode of assessment, and discipline-based peer-review. This response refers to what ultimately became REF2014.
Inquiry into the National Curriculum
Our response emphasises the role of geography as an independent but highly-connected discipline, and advocates for subject expertise and greater time made available in the teaching of geography.
Evidence submitted to the Primary Review (Rose Review)
Our evidence submission advocates for the role of geography in education, and the timetabled provision of geography in primary schools.
A vision for science and society
Our response to the initial DIUS proposals encourages greater engagement from policymakers, publics and researchers, which can be facilitated by learned societies. It also advocates for greater recognition of the breadth of 'science', the role of public engagement, and the value of policy-relevant research.
