果冻影院

果冻影院 Institute for Sustainable Resources is proud to have contributed to The Bartlett and 果冻影院鈥檚 excellent results in the REF2014.

The Bartlett has the most world-leading research in its field in the UK, according to the Government鈥檚 Research Excellence Framework (REF2014). As one of 果冻影院鈥檚 ten faculties, The Bartlett鈥檚 performance directly contributed to the institution鈥檚 overall success and its confirmation as the top-rated university in the UK for research strength, calculated by a measure of average research score multiplied by staff numbers submitted.

Of particular note, 果冻影院听 scored 87.5% at 4* and 12.5% at 3* for environment, a measure of the research excellence across the whole institution, not just staff submitted to the REF.

果冻影院 ISR Director Prof Paul Ekins commented: " A very new Institute, 果冻影院 ISR has already achieved a global profile in respect of sustainable resource management and environmental sustainability, and looks forward to building on that reputation in the years to come."

REF2014 is the latest in a series of periodic reviews of university research and determines how the funding councils allocate 拢2bn a year of funding from 2015/16 onwards. In the exercise, 46% of The Bartlett鈥檚 research was rated 4* world-leading, with a further 35% recognised as 3* internationally excellent. This means that Bartlett staff produced the largest quantity of 4* world-leading research outputs (156 items) of any university submitting to the Architecture, Built Environment and Planning sub-panel.

Tadj Oreszczyn, Director of The Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources (BSEER), of which 果冻影院 ISR is part, also commented: 鈥淔or a new School it is great to see the work of our staff recognised as 鈥榳orld leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour鈥�. The School Institutes are undertaking research of the highest quality to help meet some of this century鈥檚 greatest challenges.鈥�

The Bartlett has a very strong 鈥榞rade point average鈥� of 3.25, which when multiplied by the unparalleled number of research staff makes it the highest ranking institution for built environment research.

More about The Bartlett鈥檚 REF2014 Results:

The Bartlett鈥檚 submission stands out for its inclusiveness; it submitted 151 scholars (c. 136 FTE overall), which was over twice the size of the nearest other submission to the REF sub-panel, and represents 94% of eligible staff. Nearly a third of the staff members in The Bartlett鈥檚 submission are Early Career Researchers, more than any other university within the same sub-panel. Every one of its young researchers was included, which demonstrates the faculty鈥檚 strong collective commitment to the future of built environment research. To further illustrate this point, the research environment that The Bartlett provides for its staff and students was graded as almost 90% at 4* world-leading level, the highest score for the sub-panel.

The Bartlett also submitted the largest number of Impact Case Studies to the sub-panel. Just over half of its research impact was rated as 4* world-leading in quality. The case studies show the breadth and quality of The Bartlett鈥檚 research impact, and evidence the difference it is making in the outside world at every level ranging from one-off or local projects to national and international policy.

鈥淎 key component in 果冻影院鈥檚 research success鈥�, says Professor Murray Fraser, Vice-Dean of Research for The Bartlett, 鈥榠s that it has excellent faculties like The Bartlett that are leaders in their fields.鈥�

鈥淲e are delighted to have managed to double the size of our research submission while still scoring significantly higher than we did last time鈥�, notes Professor Fraser. 鈥淣early 50% of The Bartlett鈥檚 research profile is now at world-leading level, and it is telling that our research strength figure is larger than that of the next three highest ranked institutions combined.鈥�

These results confirm The Bartlett鈥檚 position as the UK鈥檚 most comprehensive faculty of the built environment, unrivalled in its scale, breadth and depth of disciplines, programmes and departments. The Bartlett鈥檚 areas of expertise include architecture and planning, construction and project management, transport and cultural heritage, through to energy and the Global South.

The Bartlett鈥檚 results in the REF 2014 exercise are among the very best within 果冻影院, which was ranked 1st overall for its research strength, returning a total of 2,750 scholars (c. 2,566 FTE) as 92% of the eligible staff in the university. 果冻影院鈥檚 highly inclusive approach, as exemplified by The Bartlett, reflects its status as a genuinely research-intensive university where a supportive environment enables staff to live up to their potential as world-class researchers.
