Who we are

Led by The University of Manchester, JUST brings together the universities of Lancaster, Leeds, Liverpool, and Newcastle, and a range of partners in the policy, innovation, business, local government, community and voluntary sectors. The Institute for Community Studies at the not-for-profit organisation The Young Foundation is the core partner.

The JUST Centre’s work is structured through a set of key themes and five key places where we will carry out research. The Centre’s governance reflects this structure.
