City, Culture and Public Engagement
We partner with core city cultural institutions to drive cultural vibrancy and link our research and academic expertise with city and regional needs. We also deliver a year-round programme of public engagement events, exhibitions and activities in the city and via the University Player.
Cultural vibrancy
We’re working with creative and cultural partners to co-create projects and activities which add to the region's vibrancy, from festivals and exhibitions to green space and regeneration initiatives. We work with partners to showcase the strengths of the city as well as supporting the recovery of the cultural sector.
Public engagement
We deliver a year-round programme of events, exhibitions and activities, in the city and online, to engage the public with our world class research.
The University Player
The Player is a new platform where you can discover and explore videos, podcasts and digital exhibitions all about our research. Anytime, anywhere.
Festivals
- Off the Shelf Festival of Words - annual festival which celebrates books, words and ideas.
- Festival of the Mind - where the brightest University minds collaborate with the city’s cultural and creative industries to bring their research to life in exciting, entertaining and innovative ways.
