About the event:
Public Health England and The University of Manchester are holding a one day event for academic and service professionals across Public Health in Greater Manchester to build capacity and encourage joint working across the academic and service sectors.
The day will be hosted in the Stopford Building and dedicated to two themes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The morning and afternoon sessions will consist of a series of lightening presentations followed by a Dragon's Den where potential research projects on that theme are pitched to the Den. Winning pitches will proceed to further joint work up of proposals and submission for research funds.
