The Henry Royce Institute has relaunched its equipment access schemes for both researchers and students based at UK universities to support access to state-of-the-art materials science and engineering equipment.
Royce’s equipment access schemes provide funding to utilise equipment and learn new techniques to support a single package of work for their research.
Applicants can identify a specific piece of equipment they require or discuss what techniques might work best for their research with our experienced Research and Facilities Managers.
What equipment does Royce have?
As the national institute for advanced materials, Royce has an extensive catalogue of equipment including facilities to make, test and characterise materials.
Visit the Royce Equipment Catalogue to find out more.
Eligibility
The schemes are open to any researchers at any stage of their career and students registered on a doctoral programme, or a research masters programme at a UK university.
Applications can only be made to use Royce equipment NOT based at the university where the student is registered.
