About This Event

A talk titled 'Place, Power and Prosperity: Reflections from Manchester' will occur on 13 October 2026 in the Executive Education Suite in Cardiff. This event is part of a Breakfast Briefing series and features Professor Richard Jones. Attendance is free.

Lle, Grym a Ffyniant: Myfyrdodau o Fanceinion

Join us for the latest in our Breakfast Briefing series, featuring Professor Richard Jones (https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-jones-9853897/) FLSW FRS, Emeritus Professor of Materials Physics and Innovation Policy at the University of Manchester, formerly Independent Science Advisor to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

Manchester has often been at the forefront of debates about urban renewal, city-region devolution and regional industrial and innovation strategy; the new Prime Minister’s frequent references to “Manchesterism” makes it all the more timely to reflect on the image and the reality of the city’s recent economic, political and social development. In this thought-provoking session, Richard Jones will reflect on Manchester's experience and consider the relationship between place, power and prosperity in shaping economic and social futures.

Drawing on his work as an advocate for a more place based approach to research and development spending in support of regional economies, and his engagement with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Richard will offer personal reflections on the opportunities and challenges facing cities and regions as they seek to build inclusive and sustainable prosperity.

The session will be chaired by Dr Katherine Parsons (https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/parsonsk1) of Cardiff Business School and will include time for audience questions and discussion.

Manylion y digwyddiad

Ymunwch â ni am y diweddaraf yn nghyfres Brecwast Briffio, sy’n cynnwys yr Athro Richard Jones (https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-jones-9853897/) FLSW FRS, Athro Emeritws mewn Ffiseg Deunyddiau a Pholisi Arloesi ym Mhrifysgol Manceinion, a fu gynt yn Ymgynghorydd Gwyddonol Annibynnol i Awdurdod Cyfunol Manceinion Fwyaf.

Mae Manceinion yn aml yn bwnc trafod mewn dadleuon ynghylch adnewyddu trefol, datganoli i ddinas-ranbarthau a strategaeth ddiwydiannol ac arloesi ranbarthol; mae cyfeiriadau mynych Prif Weinidog newydd Prydain at “Manchesterism” yn ei gwneud hi’n fwy amserol fyth i fyfyrio ar ddelwedd a realiti datblygiad economaidd, gwleidyddol a chymdeithasol diweddar y ddinas. Yn y sesiwn hon, gyda’r nod o ysgogi’r meddwl, bydd Richard Jones yn myfyrio ar brofiad Manceinion ac yn ystyried y berthynas rhwng lle, grym a ffyniant wrth lunio dyfodol economaidd a chymdeithasol.

Gan dynnu ar ei waith fel un sy’n gefnogwr o ymagwedd sy’n seiliedig ar le pan yn gwario ar ymchwil a datblygu i gefnogi economïau rhanbarthol, a'i gysylltiad ag Awdurdod Cyfunol Manceinion Fwyaf, bydd Richard yn cynnig ei farn bersonol ar y cyfleoedd a'r heriau sy'n wynebu dinasoedd a rhanbarthau wrth iddyn nhw geisio ffynnu mewn modd sy’n gynhwysol a chynaliadwy.

Dr Katherine Parsons (https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/cy/staff/parsonsk1) o Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd fydd yn cadeirio'r sesiwn a bydd amser am gwestiynau a thrafodaeth gyda’r gynulleidfa.
