Lancaster University is consistently ranked in the UK Top 10 (the only such NW university), and in the top 1% of universities worldwide. Lancaster plays a key role in the N8 Northern university partnership and the annual Higher Education Business and Community Interaction Survey places Lancaster in the UK top 10 for the number and value of its SME partnerships.To ensure the highest quality research Lancaster has made targeted investments of over £450m since 2004, with a further £135m planned for the next three years. Targeted and strategic investment is employed to expand in new areas and to improve performance in our current subject strengths. Areas of strength at Lancaster include: research in advanced functional materials; ultra-isolated environments; nuclear materials research; and development and the security of large-scale complex cyber-physical environments, and these four areas make up the themes of the experiment bundles in this application. Following a very strong performance in RAE 2008, we anticipate a strong outcome in the 2014 exercise to reinforce our position among the UK's very best research-led universities. The experimental equipment highlighted herein will support, refresh and update facilities in these areas. Existing academics in these fields have solid international reputations, and we are also recruiting 50 rising stars in celebration of our 50th anniversary, whose appointment will be strategically aligned to support and develop our very best research.Lancaster has a strong international presence through strategic international university and industrial partnerships. We collaborate globally on key research issues with international impact. Nationally, Lancaster is a leading research-intensive university. As a key partner in the N8 consortium, Lancaster contributes to the N8 database of assets and follows guidelines set out in the N8 Equipment Sharing Toolkit (N8 EST) to facilitate sharing of equipment between members. New state-of-the-art facilities in these key areas will lead to new research collaborations and opportunities - both at a national and international level and help to bring in talented collaborators not only to the UK but to the Northern region.Demand assessment studies conducted externally on behalf of Lancaster show significant industrial demand for the use of these facilities for their own research and development activities as well as research and innovation projects with the university. Lancaster University has an excellent track record of engaging with SMEs, and since 1998 it has delivered over 50 projects, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, totaling over £72m, enabling the university to work with over 5000 companies to date.An essential element of our sustainability model is the promotion of industrial access to our facilities and resources. The university already has in place access arrangements for industry in key facilities (InfoLab21, Lancaster Environment Centre and Engineering), with over 100 company staff currently co-located in facilities in our departments. The new Collaborative Technology Access Programme (cTAP) at Lancaster will develop a business model to provide managed industry access to an increasingly wide range of technologies on the campus, including the facilities highlighted within this proposal. We are developing a single entry route to our facilities, supported by a business-facing group of technical staff and believe we will be the first university to offer this service.

兰卡斯特大学一直位居英国前 10 名（西北地区唯一一所此类大学），并且在全球大学中名列前 1%。兰卡斯特大学在 N8 北方大学合作伙伴关系中发挥着关键作用，年度高等教育商业和社区互动调查将兰卡斯特大学中小企业合作伙伴的数量和价值列为英国前 10 名。为了确保最高质量的研究，兰卡斯特大学自 2004 年以来已进行了超过 4.5 亿英镑的目标投资，并计划在未来三年进一步投资 1.35 亿英镑。采用有针对性的战略投资来拓展新领域并提高我们现有学科优势的绩效。兰卡斯特大学的优势领域包括：先进功能材料的研究；超隔离环境；核材料研究；大规模复杂网络物理环境的开发和安全，这四个领域构成了本应用中实验包的主题。继 2008 年 RAE 的强劲表现之后，我们预计 2014 年的测试将取得强劲成果，以巩固我们在英国最好的研究型大学中的地位。本文重点介绍的实验设备将支持、更新和更新这些领域的设施。这些领域的现有学者拥有良好的国际声誉，我们还招募 50 名后起之秀来庆祝我们成立 50 周年，他们的任命将在战略上协调一致，以支持和发展我们最好的研究。兰卡斯特通过战略性的国际大学和工业合作伙伴关系拥有强大的国际影响力。我们在具有国际影响力的关键研究问题上进行全球合作。在全国范围内，兰卡斯特大学是一所领先的研究型大学。作为 N8 联盟的重要合作伙伴，兰卡斯特为 N8 资产数据库做出贡献，并遵循 N8 设备共享工具包 (N8 EST) 中规定的准则，以促进成员之间的设备共享。这些关键领域的新的最先进的设施将带来新的研究合作和机会——无论是在国家还是国际层面，并有助于不仅为英国而且为北部地区引进有才华的合作者。代表兰卡斯特大学在外部进行的需求评估研究表明，工业界对使用这些设施进行自己的研发活动以及与大学的研究和创新项目有巨大的需求。兰卡斯特大学在与中小企业合作方面拥有良好的记录，自 1998 年以来，它已交付了 50 多个项目，部分资金由欧洲区域发展基金资助，总额超过 7200 万英镑，使该大学迄今为止能够与 5000 多家公司合作。我们可持续发展模式的一个重要组成部分是促进工业界使用我们的设施和资源。该大学已经在关键设施（InfoLab21、兰卡斯特环境中心和工程中心）制定了工业准入安排，目前有 100 多名公司员工在我们各部门的设施中共同办公。兰卡斯特新的协作技术访问计划（cTAP）将开发一种商业模式，为受管理的行业提供对园区内日益广泛的技术的访问，包括本提案中重点介绍的设施。我们正在开发一条通往我们设施的单一入口路线，并得到面向企业的技术人员团队的支持，并相信我们将成为第一所提供这项服务的大学。
