The Environmental Information Data Centre (EIDC) is part of the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Environmental Data Service and is hosted by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH). We manage nationally-important datasets concerned with the terrestrial and freshwater sciences.

Our staff help researchers in ensuring that the data they produce are curated appropriately for the long-term, guaranteeing their security, accessibility and re-usability for the user community.

The NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility maintains and provides a pool of state-of-the-art spectroscopy instruments for use by the UK research community. We are also develop and deliver training courses, development and improve EO instrumentation and work with national bodies in support of calibration/validation exercises. 

Our equipment pool contains field spectrometers; logging and field portable sunphotometers; UAV sensors including a hyperspectral imager with LiDAR, Sentinel 2/WorldView...

We offer access to state-of-the-art spectrometers for photoelectron spectroscopy in our main laboratory based at the Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH).

Together with our partner hubs offering specialist analysis at Cardiff University, UCL and the University of Manchester, the Harwell XPS service provides access to a wider range of XPS analysis methods than previously available to UK academia and industry, including:

• XPS and UPS
• Angle Resolved XPS (ARXPS)
• XPS Imaging
• Ion Scattering...

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...

BREATHE – The Health Research Hub for Respiratory Health will enable high quality research and cutting-edge innovation to improve the lives of people living with respiratory conditions, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Everyone in the UK will have a respiratory illness at some point in their life. We have the best datasets in the world – which should be used to improve respiratory health – but these are currently very difficult to find, access and use.

Peopl...

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...

Research Data Scotland will provide a service for accessing public sector datasets that have the potential to save money time and lives.

It will offer safe, secure and cost effective access to data for research, innovation and investment by enabling its users to deliver insight and understanding that will help create a more successful country through increased wellbeing, sustainable and inclusive economic growth, and improving the health of the nation.

We will work collaboratively with...

Description: InterMine provides a software platform to integrate disparate biological data sources and query them effectively, enabling researchers to run analyses across data sets that otherwise might not have been cross-queryable. InterMine is open source, so any research group dealing in similar data sets can re-use it for their own data. A registry of existing InterMine instances can be found at http://registry.intermine.org.

Support: The core InterMine team in Cambridge provides support...

We provide large-scale computing resources to help University of Bradford scientists and collaborators carry out computational and data intensive research across all fields.  

As cutting-edge research becomes increasingly computational, the High-Performance Computing (HPC) Service supports University of Bradford researchers to take research to the next level. Whether with academic collaborators or industry partners, through consultancy or contract research, we accelerate computationally...

The University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge is one of the country’s largest and most important natural history museums, with over two million modern and fossil specimens covering the whole of the animal kingdom, with a global reach and through all geological periods where animals were found.
Embedded within the University of Cambridge’s Department of Zoology, and now physically sharing a building with the Cambridge Conservation Initiative (the world’s largest coming-together of international...
