The Economic and Social Research Council has named the recipients of more than £10 million for multidisciplinary research involving its core areas of economics and social science.
The ESRC revealed the five successful applicants to its Large Grants competition, which it says aims to take forward “an ambitious research agenda with the potential to make significant economic or societal impact”, on 29 June.
The winning projects also had to show strong commitment to the career development of researchers, particularly at an early-career stage, and involve potential users of research.
