The United Kingdom is a top research location in Europe including universities that regularly appear in top-ten rankings of world-class universities. The country manages to attract both highly qualified researchers and students from all over the world. Simultaneously, UK has implemented rather early evaluation mechanisms that put these institutions into heavy competition. More recently, criteria for evaluating impacts of universities outside the academic domain have been introduced. This has spurred discussions and criticism on how universities and scientists are evaluated.

The event "Research Systems Compared – United Kingdom: The Impacts of Impact Measurement. Effects of public funding systems on research in the United Kingdom" seeks to pursue the systemic impacts of the new evaluation policies in the United Kingdom on research at the interface between academic institutions, higher education funding and research funding – also in a comparative perspective to the Austrian context.
