GM Policy Hub seminar series
Join us for our GM Policy Hub seminar series.
In each seminar we focus on a different regional policy agenda, with a University of Manchester academic presenting their research on the topic, followed by a policy response and audience Q&A.
Come along to hear about research relating to your work. There will be an opportunity to grab a coffee and network. Meet the speakers and the Policy@Manchester team or get to know others working in similar policy areas across GM.
