RESEARCH EQUIPMENT DATABASE
The development of instruments maintains a symbiotic relationship with science as a whole; advanced tools enable scientists to answer increasingly complex questions, and new findings in turn enable the development of more powerful, and sometimes novel, instruments. Instrumentation facilitates interdisciplinary research.
Delve into the world of scientific Research with unbelievable possibilities.
The Research Equipment Database is an online open access database designed to enhance visibility of available scientific equipment in any given geographical location. This will in turn spur research collaboration and partnership, as well as access to and optimisation of the research facilities available within a given geographical area
