There were hundreds of university labs with highly trained staff up and down the country sitting idle that could instantly have been converted to testing, at minimal cost. It was obscene that this did not happen.

We now know a lot about what excellent ICSs look like. And it's not difficult, using information that's been in the public domain for yonks, to identify and compare stronger with weaker ICSs. So there's little need to pause on that front, nor any known reason for most HEIs to change course. 3/7

So, other than taking any consultations we're invited into seriously, maybe 'pause' is a good time to step back and focus on what's actually of value.
Are 'dry run' exercises on that list? Hmm. Probably not. Is actually enabling/doing/supporting research on that list? Hmm. Emphatically yes. 7/7

We have also updated our guidance to clarify the definition of eligible employment relationships. This change ensures that all staff, regardless of profession, who undertake, enable, or support research, can be recognised within submissions. 2029.ref.ac.uk/guidance/cha...
