As we round the corner in to the home stretch of the year this retrospective look at the previous 12 months shows just a glimpse of some of the amazing work which goes on throughout the University. In a year where we’ve returned to working in person with our colleagues, students and the wider community there has also been significant global challenges faced by everyone. At The University of Manchester we have a lot of good things to celebrate too and so here is The Review of Year 2022.
