Most projects in the CRN are carried out at the node level, although some larger projects and events are organised centrally. The projects listed on this page are being conducted by Network participants, and provide an overview of the research directions taken by the Network. Most projects involve a number of different activities, which can be found by following the links below, or on the Activities page.
