I'm seeking permission to re-use REF data about Welsh Institutions under the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015.

We would like to obtain and use the following UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) data that relates to REF outcomes and REF Impact outcomes for Welsh institutions (see below).

Please can you confirm whether you are able to provide this data to us without charge and whether there are any restrictions preventing us from using it for commercial purposes.
