In this Original Thinking Podcast episode we will hear how staff from across The University of Manchester, led by Alliance MBS, are working with organisations around the UK and globally to develop successful plans for ensuring their recovery from COVID-19.

The team produces the ‘Manchester briefing on COVID-19’ each week which brings together international lessons and examples to prompt thinking on response to, and recovery from, COVID-19. Recipients are complementary about it: “really palatable and useful” (UK Local Authority senior manager), “There is a lot of great content” (Asia-Pacific, Managing director) and it is circulated to 250 individuals and, through an international partnership with the Global Resilient Cities Network (GRCN) a further 4,000 cities across the world.

Hear from members of the team Professors Ruth Boaden and Duncan Shaw, & Dr Jennifer Bealt, as they discuss their thoughts on recovery from COVID-19 and the development and impact of the Manchester Briefing.

Hosted by Jim Pendrill, AMBS’ Research Communications Lead.
