The 14CHRONO Centre analyses a wide variety of carbon containing samples using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) 14C to provide radiocarbon ages or fractions of modern carbon. We also provide AMS 14C analyses for archaeological companies, forensic investigations and industries interested in monitoring bio- vs. fossil based components. We collaborate with researchers around the world to construct radiocarbon calibration curves to convert radiocarbon ages to 'calendar' ages. We also provide...

The UK High-Field Solid-State NMR Facility is based around a 20 Tesla wide-bore (89 mm) NMR magnet (corresponding to a 1H Larmor frequency of 850 MHz) equipped with a HFXY rf console and wide-range of probes: 14 for magic-angle spinning (MAS) for rotor diameters 0.7 mm (from 2018), 1.0 mm, 1.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 4 mm and 7 mm, a static probe and a double rotation (DOR) probe. Nearly all users visit the Facility in person to carry out experiments, with support provided by the Facility Manager...

The Aberystwyth Genetic Resources Unit comprises a collection of approximately 33,000 accessions of forage grasses, forage legumes, oats, grain legumes, energy grasses and amienity grasses. In addition it comprises a physical building (a new building is to be completed in June 2019 on the Aberystwyth Innovation & Enterprise Campus) for seed storage and seed processing; and a quarentine facility of glasshouses for containing recently collected accessions brought into the UK. The infrastructure...

The Ada Lovelace Centre (ALC) provides computing hardware, builds software, and provides computational and data analytics expertise that will spark a paradigm shift in the capability of scientists to design, analyse and interpret experiments at relevant research infrastructures such as Diamond Light Source, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, Central Laser Facility and Culham Centre for Fusion Energy. The ALC exists to: • Build capacity in advanced software infrastructure for the handling...

Using new data sources and novel methodologies, the Scottish Centre for Administrative Data Research analyses public sector data and explores what linking it in new ways can reveal. 

Comprising of researchers from a range of leading institutions across Scotland, the centre itself is hosted within the University of Edinburgh and directed by Professor Chris Dibben. Our research uses administrative data to examine issues from across society in Scotland and the UK, providing evidence-based...

ADR Wales brings together world-renowned data science experts, leading academics and specialist teams within Welsh Government to produce evidence that shapes future policy decisions in Wales. ADR Wales is the focal point for data-related research in Wales and a major player in UK-wide efforts to transform research and policy environments. ADR Wales is a core element of the ESRC’s, via UKRI, ADR UK investment.

 ADR Wales unites specialists in their field from Swansea University Medical School...

The MQADP is a research platform and infrastructure to enable research to improve children and young peoples’ mental health, by pooling data from multiple sources: linking routinely collected data (health, deprivation, social care) with clinical interviews, psychological, biological and genetic data. This resource will continue to expand in terms of size, nations covered, and breadth and depth of data, with continued linkage, recruitment and additional measures planned and be available for...

Advanced Composites Manufacturing Centre (ACMC) is a leading composites facility based in the School of Engineering. Launched in 1987, we're constantly active across a wide range of projects, bridging the traditional gap between academic research and development and the needs of industry. We work with large and small companies on projects including: implementing new technology improving processes testing materials and components solving manufacturing and materials problems. What are...

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...
