eyond the walls of the lecture theatres and laboratories, academics and students are helping others make major strides in the areas such as science, business, sport and the environment. By sharing and applying their specialist knowledge and skills with the community, they are able to instigate the development of new commercial products and services, inspire and educate schoolchildren, provide a vision
of a more sustainable future and assist some of the most vulnerable members of society. Manchester Metropolitan’s influence and impact extends to an ever-growing range of partnerships with companies, public sector bodies, sports teams, charities, grassroots organisations and collaborations. Many of these would not be able to progress in the same way without the University’s contribution.
