Policy briefings
We work with researchers from across The University of Manchester to source policy briefings on their topics of expertise.
We are happy to have an informal discussion on a potential briefing area with you in advance, and then use our contacts across the University to identify potential contributors.
We have previously created a region-wide policy briefing for the candidates in Greater Manchester’s first Mayoral election in 2017, featuring summary briefings on a series of policy issues that would face the new incumbent on their first day.
If you are interested in discussing this in more detail, please contact us.
