As academic brain drain to countries such as the United States academics, researchers and higher education professionals we that continue to value fundamental research. believe that it is counterproductive to make funding for the best research conditional on its perceived economic and social Universities must continue to be spaces in which the spirit of benefits. adventure thrives and where researchers enjoy academic freedom to push back the boundaries of knowledge in their The REF proposals are founded on a lack of understanding of disciplines. how knowledge advances. It is often difficult to predict which research will create the greatest practical impact. History We, therefore, call on the UK funding councils to shows us that in many instances it is curiosity-driven research withdraw the current REF proposals and to work with that has led to major scientific and cultural advances. academics and researchers on creating a funding regime which supports and fosters basic research in our universities and colleges rather than discourages it.
