EPSRC Capital Award for Core Equipment at University of Southampton

这项提案是为了资助购买整个南安普敦大学的核心设备。经过内部入围程序，五个项目被确定为国家重要领域的关键支撑项目。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，以进行新型基础设施工程研究。b.高功率光学参变振荡器激光系统，其高度灵活，可用于多个应用领域的研究。c.电化学原子力显微镜将使材料表征能够与泽普勒光子学和纳米电子学研究所的现有设施相辅相成。D.三维扫描仪网络将提供跨校区的扫描能力，以扩展目前在南安普敦的校区数字化表面几何图形的能力。e.高温环境试验机计算机控制系统，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。总体而言，这些项目符合EPSRC的目标，即采购基础设备、代管设备以最大化影响以及投资节约。

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.
