Since Andy Burnham’s election as the first mayor of Greater Manchester in May this year, the Manchester Urban Institue’s (MUI) Devo Manc hub has been experiencing heightened activity! The hub has its own website and also publishes a newsletter four times per year highlighting Devolution-related research from across the University of Manchester. If you would like to subscribe to that newsletter, please contact the team.

By way of introduction to the wide range of Greater Manchester devolution-related research being undertaken here at Manchester, Kevin Ward, MUI Director and Co-ordinator of the DevoManc hub has been speaking to colleagues about their research for a new podcast series ‘Devo Matters’. The first four in this series of short podcasts can be found on the DevoManc hub website, so make sure to tune in!
