I will be a panel member on HCI and the REF, alongside David Benyon, Tom Rodden and Peter Bath at the British HCI conference, in Lincoln, 15th July 2015.   Come along if you want to hear about the implications of REF 2014 for HCI research in the UK and even if you are not from the UK.  Many countries are looking towards REF as an example of how to do University research assessment; so the lessons from UK REF may well be the way things are done in your country soon!
