Policy & Innovation

Theme Lead Professor Anna Scaife

Scope of Theme

Unlocking the potential of digital transformation across many areas is likely to require changes in public and business policy, regulation and regional investment. The theme will bring together academics from across the University, working closely with Policy@Manchester, to understand common issues and challenges and engage proactively with policy-makers to seek change. The theme will address policy and innovation challenges in areas including:

• Growth and inclusion 
• Politics
• Science and engineering
• Environment and energy
• Cities and urban life
• Health and social care
• Trust and security
