Whitworth Art Gallery
La Whitworth Art Gallery est une galerie d'art de Manchester, en Angleterre, qui contient 55 000 objets dans sa collection. Le musée est situé au Sud du campus de l'université de Manchester à Whitworth Park. Il a été fondé par Robert Darbishire grâce à un don de Sir Joseph Whitworth en 1889, sous le nom de The Whitworth Institute and Park. Le premier bâtiment fut terminé en 1908. En 1958 la galerie est rattachée à l'université de Manchester. En 1974, le bâtiment de la Whitworth Art Gallery est classé Grade II. En octobre 1995, une nouvelle galerie est ouverte dans une mezzanine au centre du bâtiment, bien adaptée pour présenter des sculptures. En 2010, la galerie accueille 172 000 visiteurs, ce qui en fait une des dix attractions touristiques les plus visitées du Grand Manchester.

Brunswick, Manchester
Brunswick is an inner-city area of south Manchester, England, south of Manchester Piccadilly railway station and north of Manchester Royal Infirmary, between Manchester city centre to the north, Ardwick to the east, and Chorlton-on-Medlock to the south and west. It was historically part of Chorlton-on-Medlock and acquired its name from Brunswick Street which runs through it.
Its western edge is dominated by campus buildings of Manchester University, east of Oxford Road, and its northern edge by the Mancunian Way. The campus buildings have all been built since 1957, and several large new buildings have appeared since the inauguration of the present University in 2004, such as University Place on the site of the former Mathematics Building.
The local Church of England church is Christ Church, Brunswick. There was formerly an Anglican church of St Paul in Brunswick Street (corner of Higher Temple Street). St Paul's Church was built to a design by Clegg & Knowles in 1862; in 1878 it was lengthened and restored by Horton & Bridgeford.

Manchester Institute of Innovation Research
Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (MIoIR) is a research institute based in Alliance Manchester Business School at the University of Manchester, UK. MIoIR is a centre of excellence in the fields of innovation studies, technology management and innovation management, science policy, technology policy, innovation policy and regional innovation, the study of emerging technologies (or em tech), responsible research and innovation, and research into socio-technical transitions with a focus on sustainability and digital transitions. MIoIR has also been known for research on service innovation and in particular the definition and early exploration of the concept of knowledge-intensive business services, through the work of scholars such as Ian Miles and Bruce Tether.
The Institute consists of a group of internationally renowned scholars and experts, with more than 50 full members, approximately 30 PhD researchers, and a range of associated academics. Since the 1970s the institute and its predecessor bodies have contributed to the national and international debate about science policy and innovation (as noted in connection with UK debates by Agar) and helped develop the field of research evaluation and formulating the now widely used concept of behavioural additionality.
The Institute is currently housed in the newly refurbished Alliance Manchester Business School building on the corner of Oxford Road and Booth Street West, Manchester. For many of its earlier years it was based with the now-demolished Mathematics Tower of the University of Manchester.
A number of the current members of MIoIR are also co-investigators of, or otherwise affiliated with, the ESRC-funded Productivity Institute, a national virtual institute with its headquarters at Manchester.
