Projects

Here we provide details of all the commissioned projects. You can see the full list of funded research in the ‘Overview’.

We have organised the presentation of projects by phase and type of award (see below for a description of these types). Read about particular projects under 'Phase One', 'Phase Two' or 'Phase Three'.

As Phase 1 commenced in 2007, Phase 3 was commissioned in 2009 and awards are of varying lengths, projects are concluding at different times. Some Phase 1 shorter projects have finished already and some projects will not end until 2013. Check a project’s status to see if it is still ‘Open’ or has finished. Open the document associated with a project to read about it in more depth.* Findings from a project will be added to this document once the project has finished. Also, if a project has its own website, you can access it from that project’s entry.

* These documents are new to our redesigned website and still under development. Please bear with us whilst we steadily upload them (03/12/09).
