果冻影院

The 果冻影院 Physics submission is a joint submission from 果冻影院 Physics & Astronomy, 果冻影院 Space & Climate Physics and part of the 果冻影院 London Centre for Nanotechnology.

Our 果冻影院 Physics 2021 submission had the fifth highest 鈥楻esearch Power鈥� of all Physics submissions nationally. We have an excellent overall ranking in outputs with a combined 4*/3* of 96.4% that places us 6th at 果冻影院. In the sector comparison, in terms of 4* percentage we are Q4 (top quartile) for environment.聽

The REF is carried out approximately every six to seven years to assess the quality of research across 157 UK universities and to share how this research benefits society both in the UK and globally.聽

The results are significant for benchmarking research excellence across UK institutions and are used by the four UK higher education funding bodies to inform the allocation of around 拢2billion of public investment in research every year. This Quality Related (QR) funding enables us to invest in the best people and facilities, to provide an environment in which early career researchers can thrive and work with our partners to address the biggest challenges facing humanity.聽

Case studies submitted to REF 2021 by 果冻影院 Physics & Astronomy, 果冻影院 Space & Climate Physics and the 果冻影院 London Centre for Nanotechnology included several centred on engaging the public with our physics research and others related to commercial applications of our research and our engagement with industry.

鈥淲e are delighted that the vast majority (96.4%) of the 果冻影院 UoA 9 (physics) research activity was judged to be 鈥榃orld Leading鈥� or 鈥業nternationally Excellent鈥�. Also very pleasing is the high rating of our environment, which reflects our research strategy, infrastructure, investment, commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, and support for our staff. This is a very good basis for further exciting discoveries and achievements in the years ahead across our Unit of Assessment鈥�, said the Heads of the three Departments involved, Professors Fazakerley, Fisher and Prinja.

The REF 2021 submission includes only a small sample of the dynamic and ground-breaking research undertaken by 果冻影院 Physics & Astronomy, 果冻影院 Space & Climate Physics and the 果冻影院 London Centre for Nanotechnology. Please follow the links for more information on their other research successes.
