About Us
“Bringing together Greater Manchester’s three leading universities to support, develop and celebrate researchers at every stage of their career.”
What is GMResDev?
GMResDev is a shared platform built by and for the research communities of Greater Manchester’s three leading universities. It brings together resources, events, funding opportunities and development support under one roof — making it easier for researchers to find what they need, regardless of which institution they belong to.
Our vision is that careers in research — across all sectors — are open, rewarding and inclusive. We work collectively to strengthen institutional provision for professional development through shared resources, events, policy and advocacy.
