Research Equipment Funding

Research equipment funding at UCL provides researchers with opportunities to find and apply for funding for research equipment. High quality equipment, combined with technical support, is vital for UCL researchers to undertake world-leading research.

UCL has extensively invested in research equipment. To find out more about research platforms, facilities and equipment available at UCL, and how to access them, visit the Science and Technology Platforms and Facilities website.

World-class research requires access and availability of high quality, cutting edge research equipment and technologies. Research equipment comprises capital equipment (>£10k) and is typically located in shared research facilities, also known as Research Platforms or Facilities, though it may also be associated with individual research laboratories. The equipment includes standard items such as ultra-centrifuges or autoclaves to very technical bespoke items including microscopes, mass spectrometers, digital hardware and more.

If you cannot find the information you require, or have any questions, contact Dr Nadine Simons-Weidenmaier, Research Facilities Coordinator on n.simons-weidenmaier@ucl.ac.uk.  

If you are based in faculties outside of the LMS faculties consult the relevant Research Coordination Office, or your Department Manager, to understand what equipment funding processes or opportunities are available to you.
