A collection of internet of things (IoT) sensors and other environmental and infrastructure monitoring equipment providing real-time data from city systems, infrastructure an the environment.  Currently over 3500 live data streams.  Data is streamed into an open data system and is immediately available for download or visualisation through an open data platform.  Observations are taken across over 60 different indicators including air quality, traffic, energy, weather, people movement etc. ...

The Energy Data Centre (EDC) is a part of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and provides a hub for information on publically funded energy research happening in the UK.

The following types of information are held in the EDC:

• Data Catalogue - our collection of energy-related datasets; some are curated here at the Energy Data Centre and some are signposted to on other sites
• Project Catalogue - this contains information about publically funded research in energy derived from a range of...

The High Value Manufacturing Catapult is the go-to place for manufacturing technology innovation in the UK. Our seven centres, listed below, work across 17 locations covering all parts of country to support manufacturers in over 4,000 projects per year, offering open access to the latest industrial scale equipment, leading expertise and an environment of collaboration between industry, academia and government. We cover the full range of manufacturing technology capabilities, from biologics to...

The MTC was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO). Its primary focus is to ensure that great ideas become reality and don’t fall into the manufacturing abyss known as the ‘valley of death’.

It represents one of the largest public sector investments in UK manufacturing and, after four years of planning and a 16-month build, the facility opened at Ansty Park in Coventry at the end of 2011. It exists to prove innovative manufacturing processes and...

The National Archives (TNA) is the official archive of the UK government and for England and Wales, making available to the public a vast collection of historical records dating back over 1,000 years and including the UK Government Web Archive and legislation.gov.uk. Our goal is to be an archive for everyone, and we are taking an entrepreneurial, disruptive, and inclusive approach to reaching this aim. One important sector we serve is research, and as a UKRI Independent Research Organisation, we...

The AMRC researches and advances manufacturing technology in the following areas: Machining Castings Additive Manufacturing Composite Manufacturing Design & Prototyping Integrated Manufacturing Manufacturing Intelligence Medical Manufacturing Metrology Microscopy Structural Testing Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality Training Centre

We provide a comprehensive Advanced Research Computing (ARC) support service for researchers in all faculties at the University of Leeds. The service consists of a large High Performance Computing (HPC or Supercomputing) resource consisting of several clusters which are used for all forms of predictive modelling, data analysis and simulation which are too large, too complex or too time consuming to be performed on a Desktop PC. In addition, we can support researchers in the use of Cloud...

The Airborne Geosciences Facility was established to support environmental & geoscientific research and teaching through the development, integration and operation of advanced airborne sensing technologies deployed on both manned and unmanned aircraft. We operate our own ECO-Dimona light aircraft alongside a fleet of small unmanned aircraft systems, and a suite of remote sensing and atmospheric instruments. Our stated goal is to provide the core capability to promote and develop an...

ARCHER is the UK National Supercomputing Service. It allows researchers to run calculations and simulations that require a large number of processing cores working in parallel. The computer demands for such simulations far exceed the computer power typically available to an institution like ours (e.g. a local cluster). ARCHER allows us to run ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere models that are at the cutting edge of the field. Generally, facilities like ARCHER enable the UK to be (and to remain)...

The Archives Hub brings together descriptions of thousands of the UK’s archive collections. Representing over 370 institutions across the country, it is an effective way to discover unique and often little-known sources to support research. New descriptions are added every week, often representing collections being made available for the first time. Researchers can use the Hub to instantly scan the archival landscape and bring together diverse sources held in repositories across the country. The...
