N8 Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The N8 Group comprises eight research-intensive universities in northern England. Rather than being a lobbying group (such as the Russell Group), it is a research partnership intended to enhance collaboration between the universities in the group. The eight universities have a total turnover of £1.75 billion and a combined research income of £620 million[1]. The chief executive is Dr David Secher, based at the University of Sheffield.
