Developing and delivering university consortia

Chapter 8 in How to Engage Policy Makers with Your Research, 2022, pp 83-93 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The N8 Research Partnership ('The N8') is the strategic research alliance of the eight most research intensive universities in the North of England. The N8 has provided a means for its members to speak with one voice on policy issues related to research and innovation in their region, to share both resources and risk, and to develop collaborations around their research strengths. Established in 2006, the N8 has championed new ways of working in the sector, helping to shape policy in equipment sharing and the economic contributions of the N8 universities to the Northern Powerhouse. Our research programmes also support the development of evidence-based policy and practice in Policing, Food Systems, Decarbonisation of Transport and more. This chapter will explore where to collaborate and why, the importance of leadership and language, factors that help and hinder university consortium building and the benefits to researchers and institutions, particularly in policy development.
