EPSRC Capital Award for Core Equipment at University of Southampton

该提案旨在提供资金，以支持在整个南安普顿大学购买核心设备。经过内部入围程序后，五个项目被确定为具有国家重要性领域的关键基础项目。我们将采购：A.大型液压执行器将设在国家基础设施实验室，以实现新的基础设施工程研究。高功率光学参量振荡器激光系统，具有高度灵活性，可用于众多应用领域的研究。电化学原子力显微镜将使材料表征能够补充泽普勒光子学和纳米电子学研究所的现有设施。3D扫描仪网络将在南安普顿的校园内提供扫描能力，以扩展目前数字化表面几何的能力。高温环境试验台计算机控制系统将南安普顿测试和结构研究实验室的关键部件的使用寿命延长20年。总的来说，这些项目符合EPSRC的目标，即采购托换设备，共同定位设备以最大限度地发挥影响，并投资以节省资金。

This proposal is for funding to support the purchase of Core Equipment across the University of Southampton. Following an internal shortlisting process, five items were identified as being key underpinning items for areas of national importance. We will procure:A. Large Hydraulic Actuator to be based in the National Infrastructure Laboratory, to enable novel infrastructure engineering research.B. High Power Optical Parametric Oscillator laser system which is highly flexible and enables research in numerous application areas.C. ElectroChemical Atomic Force Microscope will enable materials characterisation to complement existing facilities in the Zepler Institute for Photonics and Nanoelectronics.D. 3D Scanner Network will provide scanning capability across campuses at Southampton to extend current capability in digitising surface geometries.E. Computer Control System for High Temperature Environment Rig to extend the life of a key part of the Southampton Testing and Structures Research Lab by 20 years. Collectively these items align to the EPSRC objectives of procuring underpinning equipment, co-locating equipment to maximise impact, and investing to save.
