Provost of Imperial College London, James Stirling, introduces Imperial's 2014 REF results, and explains how in the College’s best ever performance, Imperial was judged to have the highest concentration of “world-leading” and “internationally excellent” research of any major university.

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the peer review assessment of the quality of research taking place at eligible UK Higher Education Institutions.  The quality of research is periodically assessed every five to six years and the results of REF 2014 were released on 18th December 2014 and replace the outcomes of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
