Public Services Management and Modernisation

The International Centre for Public Sector Management and the Public Services Research Group have a long term and wide ranging interest in the development and delivery of public policy and the theory and practise of public management at local, regional, national and international levels.

The group have a strong focus on applied and operational research and the development of innovative collaborations with academic and practitioner communities. Its members combine senior management experience in the public services with strong academic research and teaching records in higher education.

They are however particularly keen on refreshing the talent pool and welcome contributions from new and inexperienced researchers and practitioners.

Recent research projects have included work with Health, Local Government, Criminal Justice, Economic Development and Emergency Services and there are small specialist teams focussed around the Health and Social Care Finance Research Unit and the Economic Strategy Research Bureau.
