Our projects

The number of live projects continues to grow each year, showcasing an incredible diversity in scope and research methods. This variety is what makes the centre a dynamic and thriving community. To celebrate this, we’ve invited Project Leads to share insights into their work, offering a glimpse into the impact and innovation driving our scholarship.

The story so far

Hear directly from the innovators themselves—our project leads share the stories behind their work, the challenges they've tackled, and the impact they're striving to make. These short videos offer a window into the passion and purpose driving each project.

Lasting legacy

Beyond the life of the project, the real measure of success is the legacy it leaves behind. Here, we explore how each initiative continues to inspire change, influence practice, and create meaningful impact long after the initial work is done.
