At KEF’s door

Marginal gains in knowledge exchange, a new Ucas head and a strike within a strike

This morning, we begin with the results of the third iteration of the Knowledge Exchange Framework. You can find your institution’s own interactive dashboard here, from midday.

Playbook and some of our readers may be old enough to remember when former universities and science minister Jo Johnson told the Universities UK annual conference that the KEF was “a challenge” that all universities “did not need to rise to”. The fact that the architect of the KEF did not expect all universities to take part in it has not prevented the entire sector from having a go at the knowledge exchange game.
