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.

Equipment Sharing Fund
The Equipment Sharing Fund allows researchers, PhD students and Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) to access cutting-edge research equipment, not available in their home institution. Funds cover the cost of initial analysis, helping to strengthen collaboration opportunities and ensure value for money within the UK’s research and innovation ecosystem. The fund opens for three rounds and will provide the full economic cost (fEC) or TRAC rate directly to the facility. Find out when the fund opens and more about the criteria.Link opens in a new window
