Newcastle University is integrally connected to the region and we are proud to collaborate with local and regional policymakers. Our partnerships include:

Since 2014, the key focus has been the delivery of Newcastle Helix. Set to become a hub for research, innovation and collaboration, it is one of the largest developments of its kind in the UK.
