The National Centre for Population Health & Wellbeing Research (NCPHWR) carries out research to improve the health and well-being of people in Wales.

We have two main research areas:

• • Healthy development – understanding the causes and consequences of ill-health, disease, injury and well-being with a focus on giving children and young people a healthy start in life and reducing inequalities.
  • Healthy ageing – improving physical activity and well-being in the general population, key...

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 Hydro-Thermal Carbonisation (HTC) rig, located at the CPL Industries production site at Immingham, North Lincs is a technology for converting high-moisture biomass into solid fuels using moderate temperatures and high pressures. The HTC process effectively mimics the long-term natural process of coal formation, with the process taking a matter of hours rather than millennia. The process is able to convert waste streams such as green / organic waste into value-added fuel products that can be...

The University of Strathclyde's Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) is a globally-recognised centre of excellence in innovating manufacturing technologies, engineering research and development, and metal forming and forging research.

For over a decade the centre has been at the heart of manufacturing research in Scotland. It is the only High Value Manufacturing Catapult centre in the country, one of only 7 in the UK making it the critical link between manufacturers in Scotland and the...

PRUK is a resource being established by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Medical Research Council (MRC) to maximise the use, innovation and benefit from the UK's rich collection of longitudinal population studies (LPS) across social and economic, and biomedical science.

The goal of PRUK is to enable a greater understanding of the complex interplay between the biological, behavioural, social, economic and environmental determinants that influence health and societal...

The Physical Sciences Data-science Service is a National Research Facility which brings together tools and resources for UK researchers in physical sciences, including chemistry, crystallography, materials and related fields. It provides access to web-based data services are which are freely accessible for academic users from the UK.

Housed in Strathclyde’s Technology and Innovation Centre, the DPSL offers a number of state of the art research and validation platforms for high integrity resilient power and energy systems for energy and decarbonised transport applications. Underpinned by leading-edge hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) techniques, a wide array of experimental investigations are undertaken in this infrastructure by national, international and industrial research teams. The systems-level assessments of disruptive and...

The National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC) is part of the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Environmental Data Service and is hosted by the British Geological Survey (BGS). We manage nationally important datasets concerned with geology, geoscience and the sub-surface.

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 NGDC is...

Situated just metres off the coast of Fife, the 7MW Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine (LDT) was acquired by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult in 2015 and is the world’s largest and most advanced open access offshore wind turbine dedicated to research and demonstration. Since then, 112 SMEs have accessed the facility for technology development, testing or demonstration, providing an invaluable and unique facility for businesses to innovate, to prove new technologies and find vital...
