The Earlham Institute Advanced Training infrastructure provides a programme of events, aimed at life scientists who are engaging in increasingly data-driven research, specifically those related to -omics techniques. The increasing trend for large-scale research projects means, in areas such as genomics with fast-moving technological advancements, that higher education curricula often fails to keep pace. This leads to skills gaps in recent graduates who are often missing the vital combination of...

One important sector we serve is research, and as a UKRI Independent Research Organisation...

The Station has been open since 1991 when it was established and financed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).  It is leased from Kings Bay a/s (a Norwegian Company) by NERC and currently delivered and operated by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), with support from the NERC Arctic Office. It sits as one of fourteen internationally operated stations that form part of this unique northernmost research community.

The Station provides excellent facilities and accommodation for...

The Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) runs the UK's national data centre for atmospheric and earth observation research, hosting Petabytes of climate model, atmospheric observations and satellite data. 

The CEDA Archive forms part of NERC's Environmental Data Service (EDS) - a network of data centres covering all aspects of environmental science. The EDS provides a focal point for NERC's scientific data and information. We work with the other data centres to ensure that...

What it does: we are the national lead on aerial investigation and mapping and set the standards for the professional, academic and volunteer sectors. We undertake, manage and provide expert advice on programmes of aerial reconnaissance and air photo interpretation in order to discover, record, characterise and monitor archaeological sites, historic buildings, and landscapes. We use sources including historic and modern aerial photographs, satellite imagery and airborne laser scanning data...
