Just in at the “quelle surprise!” desk

The Australian Research Council announces its Engagement and Impact university performance report for ’24 is off

Given Education Minister Jason Clare had already asked the ARC to cancel the companion  Bxcellence in Research for Australia for ’23 this will surprise as many as none (CMM August 31).

The Council is working on a “more modern, data driven” research evaluation and advised yesterday that it will deliver the “transition plan” in “December 2022” –  perhaps, learned readers suggest, on the 25th to discourage critical commentary. Honestly some of you are such cynics.
