About
The University of Manchester at Harwell (UoMaH) was established on the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Site (Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire) in 2018 with a vision to enable excellent, impactful science using National Facilities at Harwell.
Our mission
- UoMaH supports and enables researchers across academia, national facilities, public institutions and industry to deliver excellent, impactful science.
- Located at the Harwell Science and Innovation campus, we achieve this by using our expertise and network of partners at the National Facilities (including at the Diamond Light Source, ISIS, Central Laser Facility and Scientific Computing Department).
- We provide technical support for experimental design, equipment development, sample environment, data acquisition and analysis.
- We are doing this to meet the global research challenges of The University of Manchester.
Delivery of new technology and support is driven by our core team of technical and administrative staff, and delivery of research is driven by Research Fellows and their groups. The core team is all Harwell based, whereas the research team is based at Harwell and Manchester.
One of the key aspects of UoMaH is its location. Being collocated at Diamond within walking distance of all the National Facilities, makes it easy for the core team and research fellows to interact with all the beamline scientists and to act as support staff during experiments at the National Facilities
