Loughborough University has a substantial and sustained commitment to maintaining leading experimental facilities in support of the world-class research activities that saw us ranked in the top 10 in England for research intensity in REF2014. In this submission, we seek state of the art equipment for Early Career Researchers which will also add significant value underpin and make a step-change to our key engineering and physical sciences (EPS) research capabilities.Our well-equipped and well-supported existing laboratory provision is integral to our research strategy and a distinctive aspect of our ethos that features particularly prominently across our EPSRC portfolio. This includes the projects of our 700 EPS PhD students and the collaborations fostered through our participation in nine Centres of Doctoral Training in addition to our substantial EPSRC Doctoral Training partnership grant, which is strategically allocated to support ECRs. We work with a diverse range of industry partners, on areas from stem cell therapies with to savings of 20,000kg of fuel per year on aircraft. The funds used from this investment will not replace any planned investments at the institutional level.This award will be used to facilitate high quality research by funding Early Career Researchers that can demonstrate they are seeking to establish broader, multi-disciplinary collaborations with industrial and academic partners, that will benefit from usage of the equipment. These collaborations will ensure that research is novel and timely and leads to: - Enhanced impact - Higher quality publications - Ability to attract high calibre PhD students and improved research experience - Increased volume of successful grant applications to a broad range of funders

拉夫堡大学有一个实质性的和持续的承诺，以保持领先的实验设施，以支持世界一流的研究活动，看到我们在英格兰排名前10名的研究强度在REF 2014年。在本次提交中，我们寻求为早期职业研究人员提供最先进的设备，这也将为我们的关键工程和物理科学（EPS）研究能力增加重要的价值支撑并进行阶跃式改变。我们装备精良和支持良好的现有实验室设施是我们研究战略的组成部分，也是我们精神的一个独特方面，在我们的EPSRC产品组合中尤为突出。这包括我们的700 EPS博士生的项目和合作，通过我们在博士培训的九个中心的参与，除了我们的大量EPSRC博士培训合作伙伴关系赠款，这是战略性分配，以支持ECR培育。我们与各种行业合作伙伴合作，从干细胞疗法到每年节省20，000公斤的飞机燃料。该奖项将通过资助早期职业研究人员来促进高质量的研究，这些研究人员可以证明他们正在寻求与工业和学术合作伙伴建立更广泛的多学科合作，这将从设备的使用中受益。这些合作将确保研究是新颖和及时的，并导致：-增强影响力-更高质量的出版物-吸引高素质博士生和改善研究经验的能力-增加向广泛资助者成功申请资助的数量
