Not the 8am Playbook

As Playbook prepares to return, we round up some stories you may have missed

The 8am Playbook will return from Monday, with the Sunday Reading and Ivory Tower emails due to recommence on 9 and 14 January respectively. In the meantime, though, we thought you might appreciate a quick roundup of what we have been publishing on Research Professional News during Playbook’s winter break.

This week alone we have had the latest report from the Higher Education Policy Institute, asking whether “first-in-family” status is a flawed way of helping disadvantaged students; the introduction of new UK rules on international research partnerships; and new guidance for universities and students on keeping campuses “Covid safe”. Links to these stories and more can be found below.
