[csaa-forum] Re: ERA rankings

[Ariel Heryanto]

Dear All:

Just in case useful. Last week at the ASAA Conference in Melbourne, I 
attended a special session on ERA, where Krishna Sen, Executive 
(Director of Humanities and Creative Arts, Australian Research Council) 
spoke. Two things that she emphasised more than once were (a) that this 
whole ERA excerise will not consider “impact”, and (b) it will not in 
any way be connected to funding to universities (thus implying that no 
one in any immediate and material terms will be penalised for being 
ranked low). She also said, with some pride, these are two things that 
distinguish ERA from RQF.
