We are looking forward to meeting you at the conference on the 6th of October.

 So, just as a bit of background about Project X.

 §  We are a collaboration of academics, civil servants, industry and professional body representatives, supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA).

§  Project X seeks to generate unique insights into the performance of major projects and programmes within and outside of government through rigorous ‘co-produced’ and impactful research. To see our full list of publications please visit here.

§  The long-term ambition is to build an interdisciplinary community of next‑generation scholarship with a more sophisticated understanding of the nature of major projects and programmes. This is underpinned by the aspiration to generate ‘usable’ outputs that contribute to an evidence base that will enable better project and programme delivery.

To introduce our research community we have compiled the interviews below with some of our Early Career Researchers (ECRs)*. We are very proud of our vibrant and talented team of researchers, so please take a look at these video shorts describing their career pathways, professional development and impactful research as part of the Project X Programme. 

*ECR is a term used to describe a researcher within the first 8 years of having been awarded their PhD. It can include doctoral students and also academic professionals who have worked in the higher education sector for many years but have more recently started their journey as a publishing researcher.
