Membership of RAE2008 panels November 2007 Ref RAE 03/2007 Membership of RAE2008 panels To Heads of HEFCE-funded higher education institutions Heads of HEFCW-funded higher education institutions Heads of SFC-funded higher education institutions Heads of universities in Northern Ireland Of interest to those Research assessment, Research policy, responsible for Planning Reference RAE 03/2007 Publication date November 2007 Enquiries to Raegan Hiles or Davina Madden tel 0117 931 7267 e-mail [email protected] Executive summary Purpose 1. This document lists the membership of the main and sub-panels for the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2008). The panels will assess the quality of research in submissions to RAE2008. Key points 2. For the purpose of RAE2008, each academic discipline is assigned to one of 67 units of assessment (UOAs). There is a two-tier panel system: 67 sub-panels of experts, one for each UOA, work under the guidance of 15 main panels. Under each main panel are broadly cognate disciplines whose subjects have similar approaches to research. 3. Panel members are experts drawn from higher education institutions (HEIs) and the wider research community, and are nominated by subject associations and other stakeholder organisations. Each main panel and sub-panel has stipulated criteria and working methods that they will adhere to in making assessments: these were published in January 2006 as RAE 01/2006: RAE2008: Panel criteria and working methods. 4. This list of panel membership is correct at the time of going to print. Should any member retire from the panel or be replaced during 2008, we will update the electronic list available at www.rae.ac.uk under ‘Panels’. -
