Much of the Institute's research is undertaken by young researchers actively involved in their
chosen fields of study, allowing an awareness of the issues and an attentiveness to actual developments
often lacking in standard academic writings on the subject. The working methods of the Institute
emphasise a collective research effort and the regular presentation of work-in-progress to the
Institute's research seminars.
Our students are in the process of being 'wired up', so the information and interactivity on this
page will increase significantly soon.
