Launched in September 2021, the Greater Manchester Civic University Agreement brings together the region’s five higher education institutions and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham in a collaborative effort to drive social, economic and environmental change in our city region.

The agreement was signed by the Vice-Chancellors of the University of Greater Manchester, the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Salford, the Principal of the Royal Northern College of Music, and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, alongside the leaders of all ten local authorities.

Drawing on what people across Greater Manchester told us they valued about their universities, we’ve committed to working side by side with local partners and communities to help build a fairer, greener, more prosperous future.

The University of Greater Manchester is set to play a key role in the £16.4m Atom Valley Innovation District (AVID) project, helping to boost advanced manufacturing skills and innovation across the region.
