Newcastle University’s new Biological Engineering: Wastewater Innovation at Scale (BEWISe) facility is the first of its type in Europe in large-scale wastewater treatment research using bacteria.  It is an international centre of research excellence and experimentation for wastewater management technology.

The facility is based at Northumbrian Water’s sewage treatment plant at Birtley, near Gateshead.  It will play a key role in improving how sewage is treated. It will do this by speeding up...

A £2 million collaboration between ORE Catapult and University of Hull, the UK Operations & Maintenance Centre of Excellence (O&MCoE) is building on the Humber region’s energy heritage and extensive experience of servicing offshore wind farms. It is a national centre of excellence with international impact.

By bringing together offshore wind owners, operators, supply chain, industry leaders, regulators and academia, the O&M Centre of Excellence works with UK industry to drive solution...

Our mission is to be recognised as a leader and a centre of excellence in the provision of quality HPC services and support. The University of Hull is committed to research excellence and Viper is key for meeting the ever-growing demands of the University research community. Viper is based on technically advanced and innovative systems...

Researchers at the University of Hull have recently started to explore how to alleviate heat stress in women exercising in hot conditions. The work, led by Dr Andrew Garrett will investigate how females respond and adapt to hot conditions, using a short-term heat acclimation regime that they have previously, successfully, used with male participants only (http://theconversation.com/elite-training-in-hot-conditions-for-competi…). The facility is important...

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 Archaeology Data Service (ADS) is the leading accredited digital repository for data generated by the archaeology, heritage and historic environment sectors. Founded in 1996, we are the only UK-wide repository for archaeological research data. This has particular importance as it often forms the primary record of the evidence derived from a destructive activity e.g. archaeological excavation - that cannot be repeated. The scope and nature of what is considered heritage data and is suitable...

The AMF was established in April 2014, following a review of NCAS’s ground-based facilities and the service they provided to the community. Its remit is threefold: (i) to deploy instrumentation and provide a quality-controlled data product for field measurements; (ii) to provide underpinning laboratory facilities for calibration and experimentation; and (iii) to provide access to NCAS field sites for guest instrumentation. In 2018, under the direction of NERC, AMF merged with its sister facility...
