Employing theory-driven approaches for design and evaluation, the Centre's research offers an understanding of the contextual factors that impact the success of an innovation, informing both future technology design and its implementation. Research in the Centre is mixed-method, combining qualitative data that delivers deep insight with quantitative data that caters to policymakers.
