Experimental equipment at UCL

这是伦敦大学学院在一系列设备项目上的投资，以更新和升级我们的实验设施，这将有助于保持国际领先研究的领先地位。该提案中包含的每一项内容都有助于一个或多个战略主题，近年来，伦敦大学学院以及国家和国际资助者在这些主题上进行了大量投资：保健技术、先进功能材料、可持续建筑环境以及新颖的信息和通信技术。伦敦大学学院在这些领域拥有相当大的优势，我们在教职员工和学生数量以及研究活动的广度和影响方面都有了显著的增长。因此，这一额外投资将提供一个理想的平台，确保最高质量的研究持续增长，并支持早期职业研究人员。每个捆绑包确定了一组项目，这些项目支撑着一系列研究活动，通常跨越部门和学科边界，对伦敦大学学院和EPSRC具有战略重要性。与高级管理层以及在该领域工作的个人和团体密切合作，选定了捆绑包中确定的具体项目，以确保这些项目与他们当前的需求保持一致，并具有最大潜力支持其研究活动的最大影响。每个捆绑包都分配了一名首席调查员，负责定期向主管研究目标进展情况的副教务长报告情况。该提案涉及的四个EPSRC挑战主题是：保健技术[捆绑1、2、3、6]；先进功能材料[捆绑1、3、4、5、6]；可持续建筑环境[捆绑7]；以及新型信息和通信技术[捆绑5、8]。

This is a UCL-wide bid to invest in a range of equipment items to refresh and upgrade our experimental facilities which will help to maintain a cutting-edge in internationally leading research. Each of the bundles included in this proposal contributes to one or more strategic themes, in which UCL, as well as national and international funders, has invested significantly in recent years: Health technologies, Advanced functional materials, Sustainable built environment and Novel information and communication technologies. UCL has considerable strengths in these areas, and we have experienced significant growth in terms of staff and student numbers, and breadth and impact of research activity. This additional investment will therefore provide an ideal platform to ensure the sustained growth of the highest quality research, as well as supporting the early career researchers. Each bundle identifies a set of items that underpin a range of research activities, often reaching across department and discipline boundaries, which are of strategic importance for UCL and EPSRC. The specific items identified within the bundles have been selected in close collaboration with senior management and individuals and groups working in the area, to ensure that they are aligned with their current needs and have the greatest potential to support maximum impact of their research activities. Each bundle has been allocated a Lead Investigator who will be responsible for regular reporting to the Vice-Provost for Research on progress against objectives. The four EPSRC challenge themes addressed by this proposal are: Health technologies [bundles 1, 2, 3, 6]; Advanced functional materials [bundles 1, 3, 4, 5, 6]; Sustainable built environments [bundle 7]; and Novel information and communication technologies [bundles 5, 8].
