STFC technology strategy

Technology underpins our strategic goals and is core to a successful delivery of our mission. Our technology strategy (PDF - 69kB - link opens in a new window) sets out our ambitious aims for technology development in the long term. Whilst specific deliverables may change over time, this framework provides our technology programme with long term vision and focus to help us achieve greater impact for both STFC science and the UK.

Our technology strategy is based around three strategic goals that encapsulate the underlying philosophy for this strategy:

1. STFC will develop technology first and foremost to underpin STFC’s science and facilities;
2. STFC will strategically manage a technology programme encompassing blue-skies R&D to working systems;
3. STFC will support exploitation technology developed for STFC’s science and facilities for other applications and through industry.

Building on this framework, we are developing an action plan and long term vision for technology development. For further information or to input into this process, please contact Victoria Wright.
