Flatlined QR funding in Wales prompts concern

Vice-chancellors call for rethink of research funding after quality-related 2022-23 budget allocations did not rise

Since the Research Excellence Framework 2021 results were published in May, the UK’s national funders have been publishing allocations of QR research funding for individual universities in 2022-23.
