The EPC is proud to have been asked by Chi Onwurah MP, Chair of the Commons Select Committee on Science, Innovation and Technology, to host an invitation-only roundtable on How can regional growth be encouraged through partnership between education, industry and devolved authorities?
The discussion is taking place in the context of the Select Committee’s inquiry into Innovation, Growth and the Regions and Ms Onwurah is keen to gain an understanding of the perspective of academics, engineers and those who work in partnership with them. It will provide an important opportunity to influence the thinking that most directly holds the government to account for spending and policy relating to science, engineering and research.
This roundtable is being held alongside our Annual Congress, the flagship event of the year, which is being generously hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester. Chi Onwurah has kindly agreed to deliver our Annual Public Lecture titled ‘Engineering science: How can the UK ensure science benefits us all?’ which will follow the roundtable at 6pm in the same building.
If you have received an invitation and can attend the roundtable, please register below. If you cannot attend, but would like to recommend someone else, please email j.rich@epc.ac.uk so that we can reallocate your space.
