AMRC Cymru was opened in November 2019, backed by a £20m investment from Welsh Government, and is the first High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult centre in Wales.

AMRC Cymru operates a 2,000 square metre open access research area with Airbus the first major tenant with a platform to develop their next generation wing technologies aligned to its ‘Wing of Tomorrow’ programme.

Situated in the Deeside Enterprise Zone the facility will focus on advanced manufacturing sectors including...

ACTRIS is a pan-European initiative to produce long-term, high-quality observations of aerosols, clouds and trace gases across a network of European sites. Societal and environmental challenges, such as air quality, health, sustainability and climate change, increasingly require a diverse range of measurements to underpin policy initiatives. ACTRIS will help to solve such challenges by providing a platform for researchers to combine their efforts more effectively, and by providing observational...

The Compact Linac is an innovative and highly compact electron beam and X-ray source. It has been developed to investigate the potential for small, low-energy linear accelerators to be utilised in application areas such as security, non-destructive testing and wastewater treatment. The highly characterised electron beam can be utilised horizontally, or deflected through 45 degrees for use with liquid samples. The system is housed in a fully shielded test facility with client access to a flexible...

The University of Manchester is the home of graphene to it is where the one-atom thick material was first isolated. Today we have an unrivalled breadth of academic expertise and work in collaboration with dozens of partners. By leveraging the research power along with the vast infrastructure we have put in place we can leverage the investment in fundamental science and facilities to collaboratively generate value, IP and skills needed for the development of products and applications....

The laboratories are capable of testing high voltage equipment at a range of voltages up to 800kV AC, 600kV DC and 2MV impulse (lightning and switching). The testing capabilities we have are relevant to electricity transmission and distribution networks, a range of industrial high voltage devices and the high voltage components being deployed in vehicles including ships, aircraft and cars. High voltage testing can be carried out at a range of temperatures and pressures with specialist monitoring...

HSE Science is a national facility for the investigation of workplace accidents, research into hazards emerging in the future world of work (including large scale testing) and health exposure and health consequence measurement and modelling. These activities are supported by a significant analysis function including economics, epidemiolgy, data analytics and statistics. The large scale testing facilities are a unique mix of capabilities designed to research hazard and risk mitigation in major...

IsoLab is a beyond state-of-the-art ultralow noise laboratory built as an annex to the Physics Department at Lancaster University. The build has been funded by the University and by substantial contributions from the Wolfson Foundation, the J.P. Moulton Charitable Foundation and the Garfield Weston Foundation. The EPSRC made an award for the first tranche of equipment and instrumentation. Within the facility sit three isolated laboratory spaces where vibration, noise and electromagnetic...

The E-beam Facility consists of a Comet-Ebeam EBLab 200 self-sheilded, low energy electron beam source. Electron beams can be readily applied to diverse application areas such as food packaging sterilisation, rapid ink curing and polymer cross-linking. This equipment acts as a test and validation system that allows materials to be quickly and easily exposed to a broad electron beam with variable energies up to 200 keV without the need for complex experimental apparatus or extensive set-up time...

NGI mission is:

• To provide a world-leading centre for applied research in graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials in collaboration with other universities and research centres.
• Fostering collaboration with researchers across the UK and overseas, by providing access to NGI research infrastructure.
• To support the development of applications and business opportunities through partnerships with industrial companies, the commercialisation of intellectual property (including start-ups...

The Hartree Centre was founded in 2012 and is now in its third phase of funding (having received £170M of core funding from the UK Govt to date). The 3rd phase in particular represents a significant collaboration with IBM and has established an IBM Research presence at Sci-Tech Daresbury. Our mission: “To transform the competitiveness of UK industry by accelerating the adoption of high performance computing, big data analytics and cognitive (AI) technologies.” Our vision is for UK...
