Environment

As part of the submission to a Unit of Assessment an Environment Statement is required this element will carry a weightin of 15 per cent of the overall score for a unit.

This will be assessed in terms of its 'vitality and sustainability', including the approach to enable impact from its research, and its contribution to the vitality and sustainability of the wider discipline or research base.

We are also required to submit an institutional-level environment statement, providing evidence about how equality and diversity in research careers is supported and promoted across the institution. Within each submission, as part of the description of the unit-level environment, evidence will be required about how the submitted unit promotes equality and diversity across its staff.
