This project explores attempts after the First World War to organise a British imperial minerals strategy, to ensure British control over the mineral reserves of the Empire.
This study will be the first to investigate empirically whether rising levels of UK public and household debt benefit the wealthy and thus widen the gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’.
Electric mobility technology is one transformative technology not only for its environmental but also socio-economic effects on individuals and the society in low-income countries (LICs).
This project examines in what ways a nudge recycling campaign influences the disposal behaviour of bioplastics in higher education (HE) students.
This project investigates how technological tools, such as social media, may support or constrain people with disabilities in the development of their political interests and careers.
Within the context of government policy regulating against the sales of new internal combustion engine vehicles within the next two decades, the project sought to understand how ready the mass market is to transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
The NEWBITS project provided a deep understanding of the changing conditions and dynamics that affect and/or influence Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) innovations, informed by 4 case studies from successful ITS implementations in transport.
The aim of the project was to develop, demonstrate and test new traffic management systems, based on innovative iVMS technology, on three main road arterial routes into Coventry; and to demonstrate the potential for a reduction in congestion in one sector of the city.
The aim of this doctoral research is to explore the internal and external drivers influencing citizens' participation in urban community food growing projects.
The EventRights project will explore and produce recommendations as to how major sporting events (MSEs) can influence MSE organising committees and other stakeholders to ensure that progressive social opportunities to address inequality, enhance diversity.
CONCERTA was a national study of the benefits for local community development of a relatively under researched form of creative activity: rural touring arts.
Employment has been seen as a key route out of poverty, however there are also increasing concerns about the prevalence of in-work poverty in the UK. The proposed research seeks to fill a gap in evidence about 'what works' in harnessing growth sectors for poverty reduction.
Project findings highlight how clear communication with the local community and proper inclusion in the planning and implementation phases can potentially greatly improve the satisfaction levels of the host community with regard to the event and the legacies it may bring.

This international project’s focus will be on one of the important and challenging areas in South Asia – Kashmir, which used to be a leading tourist destination for generations.
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are being promoted for their potential for reducing CO2 emissions, local air pollution, and dependence on oil imports. However, their uptake has remained slow despite heavy investment in upstream technologies and production, and a raft of economic incentives to potential consumers. This research will consider the interdependency between manufacturing and services in the context of the interactions between networks of producers, business services and consumers. In doing so, it will enable us to assess how different approaches to consumers can help to develop the EVs market.
The overall aim of this project is to develop an in-depth understanding of two key groups within the workforce that are crucial to the successful delivery of mega events: volunteers and temporary workers. In particular it seeks to address a number of research objectives.
