At the recent HETS event, WASC management committee member- Dr Ian Hancox was awarded a special award for his significant contribution to the technical community. This is a wonderful achievement and thoroughly deserved. Congratulations Ian. For full story please visit: Papin Medal Awarded to Warwick Technician (mitalent.ac.uk).

Professor Steven Brown’s Strategic Equipment Grant from the EPSRC, worth nearly £1 million and awarded at the beginning of this year, did not in fact fund the purchase of a single item of equipment. That is because it is a “resource only” grant and therefore goes towards activities to increase access and maximise the value of existing equipment. Professor Brown, the director of The University of Warwick's Centre for Doctoral Training in Analytical Science, discusses how he assembled his bid. The full article can be found at:

It's exciting to see The Royal Society of Chemistry's winter 2021 edition of Analytical Matters highlighting the launch of WASC at Warwick.

The article details the EPSRC four year grant and how the funding will be used to facilitate enhanced access to experimental Analytical Science Instrumentation (AS-I) at Warwick, with a particular focus towards supporting postgraduate training, expanding multi-disciplinary collaboration and investing in the development of research technical professionals (RTProfs).
