Research
CTS is engaged in a number of research projects and studies involving its members and research students.
Our annual research report provides a useful overview of the Centre's activities.
The listing below aims to identify research in which CTS has a substantial role. (Information on our involvement in other research and consultancy projects can be provided on request.)
For each project we provide key details and a summary and some projects have their own website. In most cases a two-page CTS Research Briefing Sheet is available as a PDF file.
