The following table contains the results of a high level scan across all identified research centres, institutes and chairs (plus the various other collaborative structures and activities that were "stumbled" across, such as projects, groups and initiatives). From now on all these are referred to as "collaborative entities", even if this is not true from a legal stand-point. The listing combinations those identified in the high level scope document, spreadsheets and comments provided by 'Tash (and other team members), and a check against every faculty and schools webpage of research entities and structures. There are more than 70 entities in total.
