Research at CEPMLP
From 2010, work began on three major externally funded research projects that CEPMLP has been asked to play a major role in, in collaboration with distinguished partner institutions. The funding institutions are, respectively, The World Bank, The European Commission and the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and DfID. The total value of these three projects is around £5 million. They have a minimum duration of two to three years. Each project involves CEPMLP staff but also some of our Global Faculty network, ensuring that the projects benefit from a combination of scholarly and applied knowledge inputs.
These projects represent an extraordinary step forward for a unit that until recently had no significant externally funded research income.
This success in grant-getting did not distract us from the conventional work which scholars are expected to undertake in a leading university. In 2010 academic staff members completed and/or had published a total of 4 books, 15 articles in refereed journals, 17 chapters in books and 8 working papers. The list on our Research Themes and Outputs page organises the various outputs according to the Research Themes that CEPMLP has adopted as frameworks for its research priorities. It does not include papers under review for potential publication, nor the many conference papers which academic staff have delivered in various national and international settings. The publications of colleagues will be added throughout the year. Copies of the publications or details of how to obtain copies from publishers may be obtained from Hugh Gunn at h.j.b.gunn@dundee.ac.uk.
