Policy Week punters happier than ever
10 Feb 2016
Attendees at Manchester Policy Week 2015 were more satisfied than ever before with what they saw and heard, a new infographic reveals
Taking place over five days, with the theme of Science, Technology and Public Policy, it formed part of Manchester European City of Science 2016.
Highlights in the 32-event programme included a fascinating keynote from Lord David Willetts, the former Minister for Universities and Science, who also took part in a masterclass with PhD students. There were also audience-interactive debates on fracking and the devolution of energy generation, while Lucy Powell MP (Labour) took part in a fascinating session on the realities of getting evidence into policymaking, which included a Twitter Q&A.
Now the dust has settled and the policy@manchester team - which organises the event - has recovered, they have rounded up a wealth of resources from the week:
- View blogs, presentations, Storify compilations, videos and reports from Policy Week 2015
- Policy Week infographic
