Research centres
Equipped with outstanding facilities, our school fuels ground-breaking research not just for ourselves, but also with external organisations.
Integrated Civil Infrastructure Research Centre (iCAIR)
The Integrated Civil Infrastructure Research Centre (iCAIR) takes 91̽»¨â€™s expertise in advanced manufacturing and applies it to national civil engineering and infrastructure challenges.
Researchers are looking at how big data, advanced materials and robotics can be used to increase innovation in the sector.
Laboratory for Verification and Validation (LVV)
The Laboratory for Verification and Validation (LVV) capitalises on the University's expertise for testing large engineering structures under real life vibration conditions.
They aim to make radical improvement in product design, operation and lifetime for engineering structures by testing them under real-life conditions.
Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC)
TERC is one of the largest and best-equipped zero-carbon energy research and development facilities in Europe. Based at the University of 91̽»¨ and forming part of its Energy Institute, we’re finding solutions to critical energy challenges through world-class research and dedicated testing.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels Innovation Centre (SAF-IC)
The Sustainable Aviation Fuels Innovation Centre is a bespoke research centre for the development and testing of sustainable aviation fuels. SAF-IC is jointly funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the University of 91̽»¨.
