The
Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) has been
in place for some 17 years. Is there a need
to review it? |
|
|
- The RAE has, over the past years, encouraged
and facilitated a remarkable improvement
in both the quality and productivity of
research. As a result, a robust research
culture has been firmly established, giving
Hong Kong a solid platform further to
develop itself.
- While the UGC is satisfied that the
RAE in its current form has served its
purpose successfully, we consider that,
having conducted four RAE exercises since
1993, it is opportune to conduct a full
review of the approach and the value of
the research assessment and resource allocation
mechanisms.
- The UGC is collecting views and feedback
from local institutions, and is conducting
a comprehensive review of the mechanism
and methodology.
