The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum is both a research and teaching facility and an accredited public museum at the University of Exeter.

We hold over 86,000 artefacts on the long history of the moving image, covering three centuries. There are two public galleries plus temporary exhibition cases, and the museum is free and open to all every day from 10am to 5pm (except between Christmas and New Year).

Holdings are used in over 100 classes in a range of disciplines at the University of Exeter, but...

We operate three separate labs with several setups dedicated to quantum optics and spintronics experiments at cryogenic temperatures. We take pride in designing and assembling our own customised setups, tailored for high-performance spectroscopy and quantum control. We operate 10 independent cryogen-free (closed cycle) cryostats with magnetic fields up to 9 Tesla. All setups integrate components required for optical spectroscopy and optical/microwave control of single emitters, including:

• Hig...

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...

The Urban Big Data Centre (UBDC) is a research centre and national data service based at the University of Glasgow. We promote the use of big data and innovative research methods to improve social, economic and environmental well-being in cities.UBDC has been jointly funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), which is part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and the University of Glasgow since 2014.

We publish world-leading research in the social sciences and other disciplines...

The MTC was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO). Its primary focus is to ensure that great ideas become reality and don’t fall into the manufacturing abyss known as the ‘valley of death’.

It represents one of the largest public sector investments in UK manufacturing and, after four years of planning and a 16-month build, the facility opened at Ansty Park in Coventry at the end of 2011. It exists to prove innovative manufacturing processes and...

The Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC), part of the University of Strathclyde, is a unique industry-facing whole energy systems facility built around a flexible real-world test and demonstration environment. This includes an 11kV to LV electricity distribution network at scale, power hardware-in-the-loop facilities, telecoms and communications capabilities, and associated modelling & simulation expertise. 

The centre brings together academics, industrial organisations and technologists...

Research Data Scotland will provide a service for accessing public sector datasets that have the potential to save money time and lives.

It will offer safe, secure and cost effective access to data for research, innovation and investment by enabling its users to deliver insight and understanding that will help create a more successful country through increased wellbeing, sustainable and inclusive economic growth, and improving the health of the nation.

We will work collaboratively with data...

New 'omic' technologies have transformed biology by allowing scientists to read genomes (genomics) and to measure the amount of proteins (proteomics) or other chemicals (metabolomics) within living cells and organisms. Tiny amounts of DNA can be collected from the environment (environmental DNA, eDNA) to measure biodiversity and monitor the health of our soils, rivers and seas. This creates a tremendous opportunity to understand the diversity of different individuals and species within the...

Promoting growth and acceleration in the development and exploitation of technologies for the energy market. The new Energy Centre at Thornton provides a flexible place where industry and academia come together to innovate, develop and demonstrate new intelligent energy technologies.

The facility seeks to promote growth and acceleration in the development and exploitation of technologies for the energy market, examples of technologies include:

• New types of photovoltaic solar cells
• Innovativ...

The Smart Grid laboratory at Durham University is equipped with the state-of-the-art real-time simulation equipment (RTDS and Opal-RT) together with a fully controllable Power Amplifier acting as a grid emulator and capable of synthesising voltages at both AC (single and three-phase) as well as DC. Meanwhile, the Smart Grid laboratory hosts a flexible low-voltage distribution network, which hosts facilities for emulating and integrating renewable generation resources (e.g. Solar PV and Wind) as...
