NICRE builds on three leading centres of expertise: Newcastle University’s Centre for Rural Economy and Business School, the Enterprise Research Centre at Warwick and the Countryside and Community Research Institute at Gloucestershire and Royal Agricultural Universities. It involves a partnership between Universities, Government departments, local authorities and enterprise partnerships, businesses organisations, rural stakeholders, and enterprises. Strutt & Parker Property consultants are its founding national professional business service partners.
As part of our commitment to career development for research colleagues, the University has developed 3 levels of research role profiles.
