<![CDATA[The COMET podcast]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/comet-podcast 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.

đź’ˇ Understand the similarities, differences and relationships between the meso- and micro-level of evidence use and decision making in research culture within HEIs.

đź‘Ą Improve the use of evidence in institutional decision-making processes affecting research cultures.

The podcast is hosted by Lizzie Ville, Research Associate at the University of Bristol, who works on the COMET project. This project is funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Featuring Dr Sophie Collet & Dr Eliel Cohen]]> In this episode, we hear from Dr Eliel Cohen, Research Fellow at King's College London, and Dr Sophie Collet, Executive Director of Research and Innovation at the University of Bristol. Bringing together the perspectives of a higher education researcher and a university decision-maker, our guests reflect on COMET’s findings about the limited use of research evidence in research culture initiatives and explore Eliel’s evidence around the implications of the impact agenda for early career researchers and PhD students.
