Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Results have been analysed and a comprehensive research paper has been written, showing the main findings of the study.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In 2021, we plan to:
(1) go deeper into analysis of the data, examining it from different perspectives
(2) develop a research agenda for future years which builds on our current project
(3) present the results at an international conference
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we were unable to travel to present our findings at an international conference. We hope to do that in 2021.
