At Bath, we have centralised our facility teams into a single service provider. This combines our advanced facilities and technical experts under one service called Core Research Facilities (CRF). We offer:

• high-value equipment run by experts that can help interpret the research question
• a comprehensive suite of facilities covering a range of technological and scientific research capabilities
• exceptional breadth of knowledge and expertise spanning across our facility teams to help you identify, analyse and review your research and innovation goals
• a centrally run service unit that provides access to our facilities quickly and efficiently
• a user-focused approach to our service delivery to ensure you have a positive experience, whether you know exactly which service you need, or have a research question and don't know where to start
• if we are unable to run the experiment ourselves, we will signpost you appropriately and honestly

These bookable services operate outside of the University's core research facilities:

• The Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsions Systems (IAAPS)
• The Centre for Integrated Materials, Processes & Structures (CIMPS)
