- Cross-Project papers
In addition, a number of discussion papers, workshop reports and contractual reports, referred to in the text of the final report, are available on request from here. These are contractual reports that document work commissioned by the Project but are not formal Project outputs. As such, the views expressed do not necessarily represent the views of the Government Office for Science, nor the policy of the UK Government.
Please note:
