There were 9 initial research projects launched in August 2009, with durations ranging from six to eighteen months :

• 3 substantive research projects
• 6 exploratory research projects.

All of the projects met in October 2009 to exchange information about their fields of study. A summary of this meeting is available on a podcast (please note this file is large, 13MB).

The project groups met again on the 18th January 2011 to give an update on the progress of their research.
