UK-wide Equipment Sharing Fund

Do you need access to specialist research equipment or facilities not available at your institution?

The UK-wide Equipment Sharing Fund is currently open for applications. This fund provides support to visit and use cutting-edge equipment and technical expertise showcased in the ITSS Technology Capabilities Showcase – a national platform highlighting technician-led facilities across the UK.

There are currently 210 facilities already featured and open for collaboration

View the Showcase

If your project could benefit from this type of access, apply for funding now – whether you’re looking to test an idea, generate data, or spark a new collaboration. The deadline for this round of funding is 16th May.

If you need help on finding a suitable facility then we can help. Enter your details into the funding application form and provide as much detail as you can and we can help match you to a facility that has the equipment and experience that you require.

Learn more and apply here

And if you’re part of a facility that isn’t yet listed, we’d love to feature you in the Showcase.

Warwick Live Labs

Jack and his team of elves (facility users) attended the Live Labs before the Warwick Christmas lecture to show off how light interacts both with itself and the natural environment. Visitors got to see the effects of interference, absorption and emission, and a festive treat with the aid of diffractive optical elements. We even had a tornado!

Ultrafast Spectroscopy Symposium

Join us in January 2025 for a FREE one-day symposium on Ultrafast spectroscopic techniques. In conjunction with the Warwick analytical Science Centre (WASC), this event event aims to allow students to get the most out of the techniques and learn best practices from technical and academic experts, as well as an opportunity to share how these techniques have enabled their research.
