Business engagement
Successful organisations and businesses thrive on a constant supply of fresh-thinking and talented people.
In the School of Social Sciences our researchers have a great track record in generating a wealth of knowledge that can be applied to real-world problems.
What we do
We help organisations access the knowledge and skills to solve their problems.
The Business Engagement Support Team can help with research projects, consultancy, knowledge exchange, sharing facilities, professional development and recruiting talent.
Who we work with
The School has collaborated with the following companies and organisations:
Business engagement is an important area of work carried out by the School of Social Sciences at the University of Manchester. We regard it to be much wider than business liaison and our work extends to third sector organisations, the promotion of alumni projects and funding as well as the full range of consultancy and CPD opportunities.
We have a wide range of world leading researchers and scholars who can support the growth of innovation as well as helping to provide answers to some of the world’s most challenging issues.
If you would like to find out more about the work we do or see if we can assist you with your next project, please contact Dr Luke Graham at luke.graham@manchester.ac.uk.
