The What Works Centre for Local Economic Growth (WWG) was set up in October 2013 as part of the What Works Network to analyse which policies are most effective in supporting and increasing local economic growth. We work with decision makers in central and local government to give them a deeper understanding of ‘what works’, and to improve their ability to design, implement and evaluate effective programmes. Our work is important as a great deal of money is spent on economic growth policies...

WFAU curates and publishes sky survey data for the astronomical community in the U.K. and beyond. The data archives that WFAU operates underpin a wide range of astronomical research programmes.

The Wilberforce Institute is a University research Insitute dedicated to the study of slavery and emancipation. Founded in 2006, the Institute is one of the leading institutes in the world working of slavery-related issues, both historical and contemporary. In 2016 the Institute was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize, which recognises research that is considered of 'outstanding excellence'.

Synchrotron radiation has revolutionised our understanding of materials; enabling the elucidation of structural properties across the atomic and mesoscopic spatial length scales. This information is essential for exploiting the next generation of materials; ranging from the fundamental science of materials physics and chemistry to applications in cultural heritage, biomaterials and healthcare. Adding temporal resolution and studies under realistic conditions are crucial in areas such as...

The Nanocentre’s vision is to be a world leading interdisciplinary centre for dynamic and collaborative materials research on the nanoscale, underpinned by innovative instrument development in electron and scanning probe imaging and spectroscopies. It is a joint venture between Chemistry, Electronic Engineering and Physics at the University of York. The Nanocentre provides essential advanced electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy facilities for materials research and characterisation...

YNiC provides neuroimaging and neurostimulation facilities to a broad range of users and across multiple platforms. It also provides the computing infrastructure for advanced analysis, storage and archiving of data acquired at YNiC. YNiC was established in 2005. The platforms available are Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG), Electroencephalography (EEG), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS). The facilities are used...

The µ-VIS X-Ray Imaging Centre combines state-of-the-art equipment and 20 years of experience, plus the expertise of over 40 academic staff from across the university. The centre constitutes a strategic multimillion pound investment (>£5M) in high resolution X-Ray tomographic imaging,offering a unique user experience for advanced 3D imaging. We specifically aim to provide a holistic approach to advanced 3D (volume) imaging, supporting all steps between original domain problem/query, through to...
