Industrial strategy after the Brexit shock: an endangered species?

17:00, Wednesday 27 March, Manchester

 
In 2017 the government published its industrial strategy. Later this year Greater Manchester will publish its local industrial strategy. But Brexit hangs over these processes, and as we approach the closing of the Article 50 window, the time is ripe to discuss whether the UK's national and local industrial strategies will survive the shock of EU withdrawal.

Have we made enough progress on industrial strategy since the financial crisis? Was the possibility of a 'hard Brexit' taken into account when the strategy was devised, or it is over before it really began? Will the industrial strategy achieve its goals once the UK's relationships with the customs union and single market have been severed, or at least transformed?
 
 
 
Join us for a discussion of where we are, and where we are going, organised by Future Economies (Manchester Metropolitan University) with the support of the British Academy. This lively panel event will feature a range of expert speakers, including:

·        Andy Westwood - Vice Dean for Social Responsibility and Professor of Government Practice in the Faculty of Humanities, University of Manchester; also President of the OECD Forum on Social Innovation, an expert adviser to the IMF, and member of the Industrial Strategy Commission

·        Scott Lavery - Lecturer in Politics and SPERI Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield; author of British Capitalism After the Crisis

·
·        Neil McInroy - Chief Executive of the Centre for Local Economic Strategies

·       
·        Siân Errington - Political Officer at Unite the Union, former adviser to the Labour Party on industrial strategy

·       
·        Christian Spence - Head of Future Economies Analytics (Manchester Metropolitan University); former Head of Policy and Research at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce

·    
·        Craig Berry (Chair) - Assistant Director of Future Economies and Reader in Political Economy at Manchester Metropolitan University; also member of the Industrial Strategy Commission and editor of What We Really Mean When We Talk About Industrial Strategy
 
More speakers will be announced in due course.

 
The event will be held in the Geoffrey Manton Building (Lecture Theatre 4), Manchester Metropolitan University, Rosamond Street West, Manchester, from 17:00 to 19:00 on Wednesday 27th March.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office Graduate Internship Scheme


Hello all,

It’s worth bearing in mind that the Fast Stream isn’t the only way to get into the Civil Service and the vast majority of departments operate their own direct entry routes.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office have a graduate internship scheme now live.

Open to all degree types. All the roles are based in London so will require relocation but offer an excellent opportunity to add something amazing to a CV plus possible amazing future opportunities.

Starting this August or September this year the salary is £19,384 pro rata plus a possible £5000 relocation allowance which should help meet rental costs.
The internships are 9 months in duration and closes on 11th March.
