The Centre for Business in Society REF2021
The REF (Research Excellence Framework) is a periodic exercise of research assessment and annually distributes public funding to support research activities in higher education institutions. For the Centre for Business in Society, the REF result qualifies our research as our biggest and best performance to date.
CBiS submitted six case studies into the Business and Management Unit of Assessment which formed part of Coventry University’s wider submission and represent some of our research areas of expertise:
