The COMET podcast

by Lizzie Ville

The COMET project aims to both understand and improve decision-making around research culture and strategy within institutions, by promoting evidence-informed practice. To achieve this, the project is conducting a rigorous study with a sample of UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to understand how decisions are currently made. COMET is also working collaboratively with the sector and producing resources to help institutions improve their use of evidence within decision-making. 🔍 Explore and compare the use of evidence in decision-making processes within HEIs around research culture. 💡 Understand the similarities, differences and relationships between the meso- and micro-level of evidence use and decision making in research culture within HEIs. 👥 Improve the use of evidence in institutional decision-making processes affecting research cultures.
