The AMF was established in April 2014, following a review of NCAS’s ground-based facilities and the service they provided to the community. Its remit is threefold: (i) to deploy instrumentation and provide a quality-controlled data product for field measurements; (ii) to provide underpinning laboratory facilities for calibration and experimentation; and (iii) to provide access to NCAS field sites for guest instrumentation. In 2018, under the direction of NERC, AMF merged with its sister facility...

EPCC is the supercomputing centre at the University of Edinburgh. Established in 1990, it is the UK's National Supercomputing Centre in everything but name having hosted almost all of the UK's National HPC services over the past 30 years. Today it hosts the ARCHER2 National HPC service on behalf of EPSRC and NERC, the Research Data Facility, the CIRRUS Tier 2 HPC service on behalf of EPSRC, and the DIRAC service on behalf of STFC. It also operates the Edinburgh International Data Facility on...

Cirrus is one of the EPSRC Tier-2 National HPC Facilities and is available for users in both academia and industry. Housed at EPCC's Advanced Computing Facility, Cirrus is a flexible, state-of-the-art High Performance Computing system that provides an ideal platform for users to solve their computational, simulation, modelling, and data science challenges. It consists of 280, 36-core compute nodes based on the Intel Xeon E5-2695 (Broadwell) series of processors with 256Gb of memory per node. In...

Heritage science is the interdisciplinary domain of scientific study of heritage. Heritage science draws on diverse humanities, sciences and engineering disciplines. It requires cutting edge research physical science and engineering facilities and expertise, while its impact is mainly in social sciences and humanities.

E-RIHS will deliver integrated access to cutting-edge scientific activities through four access platforms:

• FIXLAB for fixed analytical facilities,
• MOLAB, a fleet of...

The Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC (ELI ERIC) is the world’s leading laser-based research infrastructure. It serves cutting-edge research in physical, chemical, materials and medical sciences, as well as breakthrough technological innovations. 

The ELI ERIC provides tremendous opportunities to scientists from the European Research Area across a broad range of disciplines. It enables immediate access to the world’s most intense and shortest-pulsed lasers. The multi-sited facility is...
