Equipment Sharing at Cambridge
Since the launch of the Equipment sharing initiative 5 years ago, the University of Cambridge now has over 3000 individual items of equipment available for sharing http://www.equipment.admin.cam.ac.uk/ The equipment database has been accessed by over 10,500 users and helps researchers find equipment and facilities within the University whilst allowing equipment owners to increase the exposure of their facilities to help recover equipment maintenance costs.
Upcoming Equipment Funding Calls
During April / May 2018 there will be a Royal Society Research Grants Scheme call specifically aimed at researchers in the UK who are at an early stage in their career and would like to purchase specialised equipment and consumables to develop new ideas and projects. Further details will be circulated when the call opens. Should you wish to receive personal notifications, please contact equipment_sharing@admin.cam.ac.uk or follow equipment sharing on twitter https://twitter.com/cam_equip/
