Local and regional civic engagement
This theme draws together a wide range of projects which both explore and support local and regionally focused civic activity. This has meant engaging in debates about inclusive growth, the role of the new combined authority and how levelling up can be used to engage and support our place to flourish. NCE plays a role in acting as a front door for partners and prospective partners to connect with NTU expertise and skills and this theme draws some of that work together.
