EPSRC Core Equipment Award 2022 - Imperial College London

伦敦帝国理工学院是国际领先的研究、教育和翻译中心，也是英国唯一一所专注于科学、工程、医学和商业的高等教育机构。学院以世界一流的基础研究和将研究成果转化为社会和经济效益而闻名。这一建议与学院的策略一致，即在研究方面取得持久的卓越成就，并促进世界一流核心学科的发展，以及针对重大社会挑战的多学科研究。提供先进的研究基础设施和设备对我们的使命至关重要，培养世界级人才是学院使命的核心，也是我们战略的体现。这种方法与EPSRC的世界一流实验室的观点是一致的，该实验室支持下一代研究人员，将优秀的人才结合在一起，使用最先进的、适合用途的设备进行前沿研究，并提供合格的、资源充足的技术支持。除其他好处外，这笔资金将用于为我们的研究人员提供资本设备，从而增加研究小组提供的数据类型和质量，并为内部和外部合作提供新的机会。

Imperial College London is an internationally leading centre for research, education and translation and the only UK higher education institution to focus exclusively on science, engineering, medicine and business. The College is renowned both for world-class fundamental research and for the translation of this research for the benefit of society and the economy. This proposal aligns with the College's strategy to achieve enduring excellence in research and to promote the development of world-class core disciplines and multidisciplinary research addressing major societal challenges. The provision of cutting-edge research infrastructure and enabling equipment is essential to our mission and the nurturing of world-class talent is core to the College's mission and embodied in our strategy. This approach is consistent with EPSRC's view of a World Class Lab supporting the next generation of researchers as a combination of excellent people undertaking cutting-edge research using state-of-the-art, fit-for-purpose equipment underpinned with qualified, well-resourced technical support. Amongst other benefits, the funding will be used to provide capital equipment to our researchers leading to increased types and quality of data available from research groups, new opportunities for collaboration both internally and externally.
