      “The Conduct Costs Project is the first Associated Research Project of the CCP Research Foundation. It is "inherited” from the work done at the LSE Conduct Costs Project and continues and expands the work (with substantially the same team) started at London School of Economics. This project has received great support from a wide range of parties and the enthusiasm of its research team is undiminished. We very much hope that the setting up of the Foundation will encourage further research that, like the Conduct Costs Project, produces findings of a "concrete" and accessible nature in the notoriously "fuzzy" areas occupied by questions of trust, ethics and conduct."

      Roger McCormick, Director of the Conduct Costs Project

      Advances in genomics research have the potential to revolutionize healthcare by providing more precise and personalized diagnosis and treatment options for patients. The CCP Research Foundation's genomics research project aims to contribute to this goal by developing new technologies and approaches to genomics research.

      The goal of the project is to advance our understanding of genomics and its applications in healthcare, with a particular focus on diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders. The project is focused on developing new tools and technologies for genomics research, as well as exploring new approaches to analyzing and interpreting genomic data.

      The misconduct of banks and other creditors when dealing with small businesses can have grievous consequences, in some cases causing enterprises that may have long term viability to collapse due to short term, somewhat technical, "events of default" or ill-advised financial products that should never have been sold to them. At the CCP Research Foundation's Conduct Costs Project a great deal of work has been done on the banks' own "conduct costs", but the costs of bank misconduct extend beyond fines and balance sheets. Insolvency due to bank misconduct is undoubtedly costly to individual businesses. However, what are the broader social costs?

      The latest CCP Research Foundation Associated Research Project, focusing initially on the sale of IRHPs to SMEs, will analyse the wider financial implications of insolvency where there is a demonstrable causal connection between a clear mis-selling of an IRHP and the business' insolvency. The Project will, in due course, also look into law reform questions raised by the associated issues, in particular, whether or not current regulation and law addresses satisfactorily the need for proper redress and "business rescue" where the cause of business failure is not the business itself but bank misconduct.

      The loss of otherwise viable businesses due to mis-selling of financial products is a phenomenon that has been highlighted in the media, but there has, as yet, been no thorough investigation into the cumulative cost of these losses. The primary goal of this study is to produce a comprehensive and forensic calculation of the costs of insolvency due to creditor misconduct.

      The circular economy is a model of sustainable production and consumption that aims to minimize waste and promote the reuse and recycling of resources. The CCP Research Foundation's research project in the circular economy seeks to advance this goal by developing new technologies and approaches to sustainable resource management.

      Our core goal is to explore new ways of designing and implementing circular economy practices, with a focus on reducing waste and promoting resource efficiency. The project aims to develop new technologies and approaches to sustainable resource management, as well as identify best practices for implementing circular economy principles in different industries and sectors.

      As the world faces the growing threat of climate change, renewable energy has become an increasingly important area of research and development. The CCP Research Foundation's renewable energy research project aims to help create a greener future by developing innovative technologies and approaches to renewable energy.

      The project focuses on a range of renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Its goals are to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of renewable energy production and distribution, reduce costs, and increase access to renewable energy for communities around the world.
