- Finalize a dataset of administrative law to be used for research papers to be co-authored by the applicant with the project coordinators.
- Contribute to the analysis of the policy appraisal and evaluation process in the UK by collating and examining different types of documents, such as regulatory impact assessments, evaluation studies and post-implementation reviews
