How to Work with Us

We work with a wide range of partners in different ways:

• Strategic research: working with one or more partners (for example in consortia) we have conducted projects on the role of higher education institutions in cities, the changing demand for skills in cities and the role of partnerships in improving city economies working with a range of private and public sector sponsors.
• Bespoke economic development projects: we work with cities to help them understand the impact of the changing economy on their area and how to respond. For example we have worked with North Staffordshire and Sheffield City Region.
• Provocation series: we are setting up a ‘provocation’ series and looking for partners to support short, punchy reports that examine controversial issues such as whether it is possible to balance economic growth and sustainability successfully.
• City Leaders Network A unique cross-sectoral national network that helps city leaders to understand what the changing economy means for their cities and regions in which they work, and how to translate this understanding into action.
• Knowledge City Partners: This programme aims to support knowledge cities to respond in ways that are appropriate to their distinctive circumstances to the challenges that lie ahead and to make the most of opportunities as the economy goes into recovery. Connecting a small group of UK and international cities, the programme will foster the exchange of expertise, new ideas, experiences and good practice.
