Research

Here you can find publications from the UCNP project's research teams in Canada, the UK and Germany.

The project involves close collaboration between researchers across its three jurisdictions. The project's researchers will host events (workshops, seminars and a conference), and will publish outputs in the form of blogposts, a journal special edition and an edited book collection, as well as other outputs related to the project. The research teams are interested in engaging with a range of policy, academic and public audiences, and their outputs can be accessed below.
