Book now: Townhall with Professor Duncan Ivison, Manchester 2035 - Phase 2

All colleagues are invited to our next townhall meeting with Professor Duncan Ivison and subject matter experts from the sprint groups, who helped to shape your ideas from Phase 1 into bold, cross-cutting proposals.  

They’ll discuss how we’re moving into Phase 2 of our Manchester 2035 strategy - diving deeper into the foundations, leaps, and emerging proposals that will shape the University’s future. 

What to expect 

• Foundations: We'll be reflecting on the importance of having the right foundations in place to strengthen teaching, research, processes, and our staff and student experience. 

• Leaps and proposals: Discover how sprint groups have been exploring your Phase 1 feedback to suggest bold ideas aimed at making a bigger impact. 

• Getting involved in Phase 2: Find out about our upcoming interactive pop-up exhibition and digital Ideas Lab - your chance to explore and refine these proposals. 

• Q&A: Share your questions, feedback, and ideas with Duncan and the panel.
