The University of Manchester

As the first and most eminent of the civic universities, The University of Manchester is part of the fabric of the city of Manchester – the original modern city. This is a thriving multicultural metropolis with creative energy and determination in abundance. Here, revolutions find their heart and soul, ideas defy convention, actions change society. And it is vital that those changes are informed by the highest quality evidence. Researchers at The University of Manchester are an important source of this evidence and expertise for government and other policymakers, both in the UK and internationally. Policy@Manchester showcases the contribution of academics from The University of Manchester to public policy development, and actively connects those researchers with policymakers, supporting and smoothing the process of knowledge exchange where needed.
