Teesside University, understanding the importance of its role in the levelling up agenda in the region, commissioned Public First to undertake the University’s first levelling-up impact study. 

The report, published today, brings together analysis of the University’s overall impact in the region with conclusions from a series of focus groups held with local Tees Valley residents from across Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, Darlington and Redcar & Cleveland.
