CREAM research reports

Home General Reports Staff AHRC EU Projects

The following list is of some of the completed research reports resulting from contracts and grants acquired by staff in CREAM since 1990 (academic publications are listed on individual web pages: see staff). This illustrates the wide range of issues and policies analysed, and the variety of organisations that have commissioned work though CREAM. Subject to agreement with the sponsor, nearly all of these projects have also generated articles which have been published in refereed academic journals, testifying to the rigor of the analysis and originality of the appraisal and evaluation techniques adopted in the research.
