GM Policy Fellowship Scheme

Our fellowship scheme creates new networks and strengthens existing relationships between researchers and policymakers. The programme is also designed to augment the personal and career development of all participants. 

Policy@Manchester has been connecting policy professionals to the wealth of research within the University for more than a decade, building relationships and networks regionally and nationally to provide informed evidence for robust public policy development. The GM Policy Hub was set up over two years ago to increase connectivity and enhance wider policy discussions. 

Following consultation with government departments, local councils and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, we launched our University of Manchester-led fellowship scheme to connect researchers and policymakers working on issues important to our region.

Each fellow has the opportunity to receive a bespoke set of briefing sessions with researchers from across the University around their working area of interest, combined with an open invitation to undertake tours and access our enviable resources and facilities.
