Mid-range facilities strategy
EPSRC defines a mid-range facility as a research facility which provides resources that are of limited availability to UK researchers for one of several reasons including:
- The relative cost of the kit
- Dedicated kit in every University is not needed
- Particular expertise is needed to operate the kit or interpret the results or
- Progress is enhanced by sharing information or software.
EPSRC support a range of mid-range facilities, across the portfolio.
